This classic game can be played outdoors as well as in the pool. Pick a child to be the shark, and have him or her turn around and close their eyes. The other kids back away, and ‘chant mister shark, mister shark, what time is it?’ The shark responds by giving the time, (any time) and the kids take that many steps toward him. (three o’clock, three steps, etc.) Continue this until the kids get close to the shark. Then when they ask what time it is, the shark yells out lunch time and chases the kids around the playground or pool till he catches someone who in turn becomes the next shark. (The shark is the judge of when it is time to call lunch time by listening to how close the kids sound.)
