What’s
the
time
Gruffalo?
1 Choose someone to be ‘Gruffalo’.
Gruffalo stands at one end of the playing
area. Everyone else stands in a row a few
metres behind facing Gruffalo.
2 To play the game...Gruffalo turns around,
so he has his back to the other children.
3 The children chant: ‘What’s the
time Gruffalo?’
4 Gruffalo turns around and says
a time (for example, 3 o’clock).
5 The children move forward the number
of steps called out and then repeat the
chant and wait for a response.
6 Gruffalo can, at any moment once the
line of children are close, respond ‘lunch
time’ in a loud growl and chase the
children, tagging the new Gruffalo.
