Hickory Dickory Dock Game

A catch the mouse game based on the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock. Catch a mouse in the kitty cat pot! All the players are either a cat or one of the mice. The Cat rolls the special dice on the table, the colour on top indicates which Mouse is to STOP, they cannot move and will be caught. The Mice players who can move take hold of the end of their tails. Now the Mice all chant “What’s the time Kitty Cat?” to which the Cat replies “The Clock Strikes (any number from 1 to 12)”, if the Cat shouts “One!” all the Mice (that are allowed to move) attempt to escape capture by whipping their Mouse away before the Cat traps them under the bowl. A game for 3 - 7 players
