unfamiliar movement.
Teacher Questions/Prompts:

The teacher will encourage students to play the game and to take turns, reminding them that this is a co-
operative game and that they are not in competition with each other. The teacher will have to
demonstrate what is meant by “passing over and under” and may begin with just passing over or under
until students have mastered this movement. As the students play the game, the teacher will provide
encouragement when a student is working co-operatively. The teacher will watch carefully to make sure
that certain students are not grabbing the chicken or throwing when it’s not their turn and remind them
of how we work with a team.

Assessment Documentation:

This is a participation exercise. If there are any reluctant students, the teacher will encourage them to
participate in whatever way they can. Students who show persistent reluctance in participating in
physical activity or co-operative games, for reasons other than health reasons or an off day, may be
documented so that the educator can later address the question of why the student doesn’t want to
participate and how to get them to engage in physical activity during a conversation with that student.

Materials Required:

Rubber chickens

Possible learning next steps for learning:

If students enjoy playing Chuck the Chicken, we may play the game again and add the full “over-under”
movement pattern depending upon the students’ abilities to do so. We may also talk about “over-under”
and how this is a pattern as we have been learning about patterning during math activities.

Minds On:

“Good morning everyone. Today we are going to be playing a new game called Chuck the Chicken. Has
anyone ever played Chuck the Chicken? In the game, you will be divided into 2 teams. Each team will
form a line. The first person in line will pass the chicken over their head (the teacher will demonstrate) to
the person behind them. When you get the chicken you will pass it over your head. If you see the person
in front of you passing the chicken to you over their head, take the chicken and pass it to the person
behind you over your head too. The last person in line will take the chicken and throw it as far as they
can.”
