Chuck the Chicken: A rubber chicken team-building game!

Chuck the Chicken

This is our most fun Rubber Chicken game of all! We can’t find the original source of this game. We’ve heard it is very old – maybe the original rubber chicken game. 

You’ll need one Rubber Chicken. 

Spilt players into two teams of equal size.  Teams line up.

Team #1 starts off with possession of the rubber chicken.  The first player in line shouts, “Chuck the Chicken” and throws the chicken as far from Team #2 as possible.

Team #2 runs after the chicken, while Team #1 forms themselves into a tight cluster and the player who chucked the chicken runs laps around the cluster. Each lap earns the team one point. Count off laps!

Meanwhile, when the first player on Team #2 reaches the chicken, that player picks up the chicken and the rest of the teammates line up single file behind that player. Players then pass the chicken from the front to the end of the line by passing “over & under.” (The first player passes back over head, the next player passes back under through the legs; the next over head, etc) .

As soon as the chicken reaches the last player in line, that player shouts, “Chuck the Chicken!” and throws the chicken as far from Team #1 as possible. Team #1 stops running laps and scoring points and chases the chicken. The teams swap roles and play continues until each team has had an equal number of scoring rounds and everyone is too pooped to continue! The team with the most points wins!
