Game
One student is named the wolf. Other students form a circle and walk around the circle while singing (wolf stands outside the circle). The children ask the question “Is the wolf here?” The wolf can improvise the response. If the wolf says “I’m here now!” the students must run away, and the wolf must tag one. That person becomes the new wolf.
