Summary:Wooly, wooly woof [Children's game] Wooly, wooly woof (this I presume is 'wolf' but it is called woof in St. Lawrence). Any number of girls line up behind a line (see diagram below). One girl . stands in front facing the rest. She then proceeds to 'call'. She may say "Wooly, wooly dog". or wooly, wooly anything under the sun! If at the sound of any of the above, any of the girls move from the line, they are out, and they retire from the game. whenever the caller says "Wooly, wooly woof" everyone must run for the fence (see diagram). If they are caught by the caller before reaching the fence, they are also 'out'. I they reach the fence safely though, the return to the line, and the same process continues.
