What time is it Mr Werewolf is a cracker...
One person elected 'on' stands against wall, or on a line, everyone else taking part stands facing them about 10-15 metres away.
The person on is Mr Werewolf and has to turn around to face away from everyone.
'Everyone' shouts loudly 'What time is it Mr Werewolf?'
Mr Werewolf shouts out a time, say four o clock. Everyone has to take four steps. Taken carefully because if Mr Werewolf turns round and catches you moving you become the new Mr Werewolf.
This continues til everyone gets fairly close to Mr Werewolf and when asked the time, he/she shouts DINNERTIME!!
Everyone has to turn and run back to the original line before Mr Werewolf catches and bites them and they become the new Mr Werewolf. Obviously not real biting!!
Gets em running about like a playstation can't :)

My favorite one was called arrows. Some of us wait in a garden and give one kid a couple of minutes before they looked for her. The one that went off alone had a piece of chalk and would draw arrows in the direction she was headed every few paving flags then after two or three arrows write a clue to which way they had gone. Idea being she would get back to the garden before the others caught up.

Marbles, French Skipping (Elastic around their legs),Dobby.
Hoopla (large hoop around the waist) good for adults too. Two ball juggling with two tennis balls. Kids love all kinds of games you'll have to make them up. Frisby - see who can throw the longest. Good Luck

How about dodge ball....in a circle with rubber ball thow at targeted kids... or Farmer in the Dell...circle with one kid in middle while everyone goes around in circle singing the song and "the farmer" chooses the "wife" to join inner circle.."wife" chooses "child" each picks someone from the circle till the end of song when the "mouse" takes the "cheese"...the "cheese" stands alone.(who then becomes the farmer and the whoe song starts again. This is a pre school or young children's game. There is also Red Rover...two teams stand aprox. twenty feet apart facing each othr, holding hands...and chant: "Red rover, red rover..send (name of a child from opposite team) right over...the child then has to try and break through the fortress of arms held at hands....If they "break through" they then join THAT team.. and game continues until oly one team stands...Another circle game is "drop the hankey" one person drops a (kleenex) hankey behind another child and then the child must pick up hankey and chase the child around the circle to catch before they get back to circle starting point. here is also "freeze tag" the person who is "it" chases the others and when caught that person must "freeze" untill all are "frozen in place... OR...."duck -duck -goose" in a circle again...touch top of heads naming the "ducks" until one decides to name one "goose" the "goose then chases the person around the circle to get back in circle at starting point...the one left out then starts the process again...naming duck- duck- duck-..."goose"!!!! there is also "kick ball" like base ball...only using a red rubber ball and you can only kick the ball...you may "throw" the ball at the person running the bases to throw them out if ball hits them... I guess that is enough for one answer!!! LOL! Have fun...
