On our last day of this trip to visit with our California grandgirls I was introduced to a playground game that is new to me.
One of the things I enjoy about these three beautiful and smart girls is how they so easily involve other kids in their games. Very soon after arriving at a park they are busy making friends.
After playing with other kids in the sand and on the playground equipment soon they were engrossed in this game. One (sometimes two) kids would be Mr. (or Ms.) Fox. Ms. Fox would turn her back as the other kids would gather at the agreed spot maybe twenty yards away. They would call out, "What time is it Ms. Fox?!". The fox would reply by shouting a time and the kids would take that many steps toward the fox. This was repeated until the fox fine responds by shouting "Dinner Time" and turning to chase the other kids. When one is caught that one becomes the fox for the next round. They had a ball. (I should have better pictures!)
