What Time is it Mr. Fox?
3 or more people
If you’re sick of playing tag, but your kids aren’t, might we suggest “What Time is it, Mr. or Mrs. Fox?”. It’s basically a game of tag that involves less running and adds counting practice. An adult should start as Mr. Fox (you can put kids in charge once they get the hang of it) and organize everyone to stand side-by-side in a line.
Players yell out “What Time is it Mr. Fox (Mrs. Fox)?” and Mr. Fox (Mrs. Fox) yells out a time, e.g. “It’s 7 o’clock!” and the kids take that many steps forward.
The kids must continue to take steps forward based on the time called out even if it means they are super close to Mr. or Mrs. Fox.
This continues until Mr. Fox calls out “Lunch time!!” and the kids try to race back to the start line without getting tagged by Mr. Fox. Got tagged? That person is the next Mr. F
Duck, Duck, Goose!
4 or more people
All but one of the players sit in a circle facing the center. A player who does not sit in a circle is called a Goose.
The Goose walks in a circle and touches the head of each player with their hand, while saying the word “duck”.
At any moment, the Goose can touch the next player’s head and say the word “goose” instead of “duck”.
At the same time, the one who was just called a “goose” gets up and runs after the old Goose. The old Goose has to run around the circle so that the new goose does not tag them and takes their place in the circle.
If the new goose tags the old one before they ran around the circle and took an empty seat, the new goose sits in its former place, and the old Goose continues the game. If the new “goose” has not caught up with the old Goose, the new “goose” leads.

With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
Up and down her back, back, back.

For fifty cents, cents, cents,
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants,
Jump the fence, fence, fence.

They touched the sky, sky, sky,
And they never came back, back, back,
To the Fourth of July-ly-ly.
