Talk:What's the time, Mr Wolf?

Latest comment: 1 year ago by 82.153.173.83 in topic Korcb

In the Netherlands (one of those low countries) the game is not generally known as '123 piano'. Instead, the game is known as "Annemaria Koekoek". The "What time is it Mr. Wolf" game is in some variant known in the Netherlands as "Etenstijd" (in English: Dinnertime). --Oldenboom (talk) 20:51, 15 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Page Name edit

Shouldn't this page be named "What's the time, Mr. Wolf? instead of "What's the time, Mr Wolf?"? LukePhiladelphia (talk) 18:51, 19 December 2011 (UTC) 4+ people can play its a fun game for kidsReply

Different names edit

This game is also called

  • Der böse Geist (The Evil Ghost, 1850s, Germany)
  • Hexenspiel (Witch game, 1860s, Germany)
  • Wolf in seinem Garten (Wolf in the Garden, 1870s, Austria)
  • Old Woman (1880s, USA)
  • Wolf in the Church-yard (1890s, England).

Seems to be a typical 19th century game from Central Europe.
