Instructions

1. This game is played just like "Goodnight Mr. Fox," but with some changes.
2. Ask all the children to line up at one end of the room. Choose one child to
stand at the other end of the room.
3. The child by herself chooses an animal to imitate, for example, a dog.
4. The other children ask, "What time is it, Mr./Mrs. Dog?"
5. The "dog" calls out a number, and the children walk forward that many steps
making dog sounds (barking, and so on).
6. When the children get close to the dog, she calls out, "Nighttime." Then they
all run back to where they started. The dog tries to tag someone and that
child is the next animal.
