Pass the Chicken - Double Chicken!

A variation on the Pass the Chicken game is called 'Double Chicken.'
  1. Students sit in a circle with their chairs and a volunteer comes out to the front.  They will be our "counter."  Two more volunteer students then raise their hands to be the first to receive a daft rubberised chicken.  Each of the latter two students must be at opposite ends of the circle.
  2. The student at the front then begins counting down from 10, or 20 seconds and the students begin pass the chickens in opposite directions.  The 'counter' should have their back to the class whilst counting down.
  3. When the student at the front reaches he/she shouts "STOP," the two students with the chickens do Paper Scissors Stone and the loser answers a question.  If they get the question right, their team gets one point, if not, the other student gets a go and the chance to earn the point.
  4. If by chance one unfortunate student ends up with both chickens, they must answer a question anyway and hopefully win a point for their team.
It's amazing what one can do with chickens, isn't it, though any toy item could be used just as well.  This game is better suited to large groups of at least 10 children.  Any less and both chickens go around the circle too fast, reducing the fun.
