This game requires at least five students to play; the more who participate, however, the better.
how to play
	Choose a student to be the "eagle" and another to be the "mother hen." The rest of the students are chicks.
	The eagle tries to catch one of the chicks so he/she will no longer be the eagle, and the mother hen tries to protect the chicks from the eagle.
	The chicks line behind the mother hen one by one. The first chick behind the mother hen will hold on to her waist or cloth, the chick behind the first chick will hold onto the first, and so on.
	The eagle can catch the chick by tagging the chick, and the mother hen can protect the chicks by spreading her arms shoulder high.
	When the chasing begins, the eagle is free to run anywhere to catch the chick. The mother hen tries to remain in front of the eagle to protect the chicks.
	The eagle must go around the mother hen to catch the chicks and tries to avoid any contact with the mother hen.
	To help the mother hen, the chicks try to run out of the way of the eagle.
	The chicks don't have to be in the line all the time. They may run out of the line and play tag with the eagle.
	If the eagle catches a chick, the game is over and that chick will be the eagle in the next game.
