HOW TO PLAY
1

One player is chosen as the "wolf" and stands in the middle of the field with eyes closed while everyone else, the "sheep," scatters to hide.

2

The wolf calls out "Sheep, sheep, come home!"

3

Hidden players may answer back with a quiet bleat or stay silent, giving hints to their location without revealing it fully.

4

The wolf searches the field, trying to spot and tag hidden sheep before they can dash to a marked home base.

5

Any sheep tagged before reaching home becomes a wolf for the next round.

6

Play continues until only one sheep remains uncaught, who becomes the new lead wolf.
