Chicken on a Hut Game

About Chicken on a Hut Game

Chicken on a Hut game is a team building game which makes a fun break in a meeting. It is a favorite with our Venturing Crew. Because of the physical contact with the partners, when playing this game with our coed Crew, boys are partners with boys and girls are partners with girls.

If you have an uneven number playing, you will need one group of three. One member of that group will sit out each turn.
