Game Instructions
The children walk in a circle, the wolf is either outside or inside it. The children sing the chorus, the child who is the wolf answers and can add as many things as s/he wishes to make the game longer. When the wolf answers "Ya estoy aquí" (I'm here) all the children start running and the one that the wolf catches becomes the new wolf.
