Chuck the Chicken

How to Play

• Play begins with Team A Holding the throwable object or “Chicken” and Team B waiting to receive.
• Team A starts by throwing the “chicken” as far from the other team as possible, and yelling “3, 2, 1, Chuck!”
• The other team (Team B) must run to the “chicken” and form a line, and then pass the “chicken” down the line going through the legs, over the head, through the legs, over the head, etc. until it reaches the end of the line. Everyone on that team must be in the line and pass the chicken for it to count.
• While they are doing this Team A forms a tight clump and has one person from that team run around the clump. The team keeps a tally of how many times the runner is able to run around their clump before Team B yells “Chuck the Chicken!”
• Once the rubber chicken has reached the end of Team B’s line, everyone on that team yells “3, 2, 1, Chuck!” and the person at the end throws it as far from Team A as possible.
• The circle count stops as soon as that happens and now Team A must run to the chicken and form a line while Team B makes a clump and counts how many times one player can run around it before Team A yells “Chuck the Chicken!”
• Play continues until either both teams have completed an agreed upon number of rounds, or time is up. Try to end it while kids are still having fun. Add up the points at the end, the team with the most points wins.
