No equipment needed.

Description:
Choose one child to be "Mr.Wolf". Mr. Wolf stands far away from the rest of the group, who are called the deer. The deer yell, "What time is it, Mr.Wolf?" Mr. Wolf replies with any time and the deer takes that many steps forward (EX: 4:00 is 4 steps forward). This continues until Mr.Wolf yells in reply, "Lunchtime!" He then runs after the deer and tags as many as he can. Anyone who was tagged joins the wolf and when the wolf yells that it's lunchtime again, all the new wolves tag the deer, too. Continue until all the deer have been tagged.

Other comments or suggestions:
When the deer ask what time it is, have the original Mr. Wolf answer so there is no arguing or confusion. Have fun!
