Chicken Coop

This is an elimination game.  Get entire group to split up into pairs.  They need to mill around.  Have a guitar player or some musician play music and when he stops, the leader will shout out what the pair needs to do. The choices are:

  • Lover's Leap - one person jumps up into the other persons arms.
  • London Bridge - one person lays on the floor face up and the other gets on his hands and knees over him.
  • Peeing Dog - One person gets on his knees and the other person gets down on all 4's and lifts one leg (like he is peeing on the person).  He must lift the leg in the correct direction (this seems to be difficult for some).
  • Bunks Beds - One person lays on the ground face up with their hands extended.  The other person does the EXACT opposite - he grabs the persons ankles and jumps up and puts his ankles in the other persons hands (they are parallel to the floor like a box).
  • Chicken Coop - one person gets down on all 4's and the other person sits on his back.
  • Crowbar and the Truck - Just like peeing dog, but the leg lifted is straight and resting on the back of the other person.  (invented by Luke and Calvin.  Named by Joe)
So when the music stops, the leaders shouts out "London Bridge" and everyone must find their partner and do the action.  Last team to do it is out.

  • 10-20 minutes (depends on team size)
  • Jr. High and High School
  • 16-50
  • Recently we have introduced "Combos".  The leader shouts out "Lover's Leap, Peeing Dog".  Teams have to do both in order.
