Time and Routines Intro: What's the time, Mr Wolf? A book based on a game

What's the time, Mr Wolf?  is a form of tag played in Australia, Belgium, Canada, the English-speaking Caribbean, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. 

BASIC RULES:

One player is chosen to be Mr Wolf. Mr Wolf stands at the opposite end of the playing field from the other players, facing away from them. A call-and-response then takes place: all players except for Mr Wolf chant in unison "What's the time, Mr Wolf?", and Mr Wolf will answer in one of the two ways:

1) Mr Wolf may call a clock time (e.g., "3 o'clock"). The other players will then take that many steps out long as they go ("One, two, three"). Then they ask the question again.

2) Mr Wolf may call "Dinner time!", when Mr Wolf will turn around and chase the other players back to their starting point. If Mr Wolf successfully tags a player, that player becomes the new Mr Wolf for the next round.
