Mister Fox

Any number can play. One person stands a distance from the
other players and that person is Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox stands facing
the players and each player has a turn. The players say Mr. Fox,
Mr. Fox what time is it? Mr. Fox responds with a time, for
example 1 o'clock or 5 o'clock. Whatever time he gives the
players take that many steps. (The times given are from 1
o'clock to midnight.) When the players are within reach of Mr.
Fox, when he is asked what time is it he shouts Midnight and
starts running after the players. The player that he catches
becomes Mr. Fox.
