Players in center of circle hold on to waist of person in front. Lead player is “Mother Hen”, and others are “Chickens”. Players on outside of circle try to hit Chickens by catching or pushing ball away, by swinging Chickens away from ball, or by putting own body in front of ball. If a chicken is hit fairly with the ball, he goes into throwing circle, and thrower who hit him becomes new Mother Hen. If a chicken lets go of waist of player in front of him to avoid being hit by ball, he must go into throwing circle and Hen chooses new Chicken to take his place.
