HOW TO PLAY
1

Mark two safe bases a good running distance apart.

2

Choose one player to be the wolf, who waits in the open space between the bases.

3

The rest of the players start as sheep gathered at one base.

4

On a signal or taunt, the sheep must all run to the other base while the wolf tries to tag them.

5

Anyone tagged becomes a wolf too and helps catch sheep on the next run.

6

Keep calling runs back and forth until only one sheep remains free.
