What's the Time Mr or Mrs Wolf?

This is always a favourite game for a group of children to play with an adult. Spending time outside is always good for wellbeing and health and particularly so at the moment. Outside is definitely the best place to spend as much time as possible. Playing games together is excellent for Personal Social and Emotional Development. Children learn to work with each other, to take turns and to get to know a range of other children. This game also involves mathematical learning for example in counting the number of steps to take. It involves listening to and understanding spoken language and using repeated phrases. And there is Physical Development as well so children are exercising their bodies by running and are getting better at judging space and speed. Adults can act as role models by taking part in this kind of play and can extend the children's skills.
