I'm from Indonesia and believe it or not, I played this game with my friends once when we're in high school. It was boring at night at our basketball training camp and so we girls packed up and played this game. There was no 'Mr.Wolf' part of course, just counting from 1-5. And it was hilarous! Oh, what a sweet funny memory. We laughed so hard our fellow neighbours had to shout us up to be able to sleep ;D Hello all..

I live in Belgium and I wanted to say that I love this blog! I also recognized this game from my childhood, although the language is different ofcourse. It's called: "wolfje, hoe laat is het?". In Belgium "wolfje" is the name for "little wolf". Greetings, Hilde Hello everybody!

I just found this site and I think it is going to be one of my favorites. I also have not heard of this game, but it sounds like a game my 5 year old will love.

We just moved to London a few months ago and the kids in the nursery school my son attends were "playing" this Mr. Wolf game. I had absolutely NO IDEA what they were saying or doing! I'm not having too much trouble with the English accent but having no context and in the company of 3-4 year olds, it got mighty confusing. LOL Thank you for explaining it! Now maybe we can actually participate in the game properly instead of just running around insanely. Anastasia, I think it is totally a British game.

At school our kids play "Mr. Fox, Mr. Fox, What time is it?" Strange how kids' games vary from place to place and group to group. How funny!

We learned a similar game during swim lessons, but it was called "Sharkey, Sharkey What Time is It?" and it helped the kids practice their arm strokes (either in a shallow pool or the big pool). We play it on the walk home from school to make the walk more interesting. Now, I can tell the kids I'm a wolf instead of a landshark. Love this game.
