Wolf
The Wolf is a player who creeps away
to one side of the room and hides behind
chairs and tables or boxes.
The sheep all huddle up at one end of the room,
and the shepherd stands at the other.
Presently he calls out to the sheep to
"Come home for the night is falling."
"We are afraid of the wolf;" answer the timid sheep.
"The wolf is away!" cries the shepherd.
Then the sheep all run across.
Out jumps the wolf and catches whom he can.
The games lasts till
there are no sheep left to be caught.

Nose, nose, jolly red nose.
And what gave you the jolly red nose?
Nutmeg, ginger,
Cinnamon and cloves,
That's what gave me a jolly red nose.
