HOW TO PLAY
1

One player is chosen to be the 'wolf' and hides or stands apart while the others wander around calling out, 'wolf, are you ready?'

2

The wolf can answer with a stalling response, like pretending to get dressed or eat breakfast, prompting the group to call out again.

3

When the wolf finally answers 'I'm ready!', it means the chase is on and the wolf bursts out to tag the others.

4

All other players scatter and try to reach a safe home base without being tagged.

5

The first player tagged becomes the new wolf for the next round.
