What Time Is It, Mrs. Fox?
Sent in by: Julie of Gregory, MI

Can you outfox the Fox?

This game is for 3 or more players and should be played in an open area.

The object of the game is to walk past Mrs. (or Mr.) Fox without getting caught.

To play, pick someone to be the Fox. Everyone else should line up on the starting line.

The Fox will stand about 20 feet away with her back turned.

The rest of the players say, "What time is it Mrs. (or Mr.) Fox?"

If Mrs. (or Mr.) Fox answers a time like, "It's five o'clock" players take five steps forward. If she answers, "It's one o'clock" players take one step forward, and so on. The players can take any size step they want.

If Mrs. Fox says, "It's time to eat you!" she turns around and chases the other players back to the starting line.

If Mrs. Fox catches someone, he becomes the next Fox.
