What time is it Mr./Ms. Wolf? (20 mins)

Organization: Set up a 20 x 16 yard area. Activity: Line up players on one end of the field with parent. Facilitator stands in the centre and waits for players and their volunteer coaches to ask the question, "What time is it Mr./Ms. Wolf?" Coach calls out a number and players walk as many steps as the facilitator has called out. i.e. "What time is it Mr./Ms. Wolf?" "5 oclock" Players take 5 steps. Coach can wait until players have come very close and choose to call out "Lunch Time" at which point all players would run back to the line without being caught. Progression: Use soccer balls. Coaching Points: Listening, heads up, small touches and FUN! Additional Notes: If you think of more movements, please feel free to do them. Try to be creative! What
