Chicken Fest

We said good-bye to our chicks by having Chicken Fest! We played games such as “Hot Chicken” – AKA Hot Potato where we played the “Chicken Dance”, of course, and the winners got to keep the rubber chicken we used as the “potato”:

The hens and roosters also tried “hatching eggs” by sitting on a balloon:

They also participated in the “This looks easy but it’s actually super-duper hard” Egg Roll by rolling a balloon with their nose:

Some kids thought a big “egg” would be easier, others thought a small one would work better:

And, the #1 kid-favorite…Chicken Feed (eating cereal with their hands behind their backs and pecking it like a chicken):  

But soon the fun had to end and it was time to say good-bye to our newest little classmates. It was off to the farm for them! If you are the one bringing the chicks to the farm, be sure to take pictures of their new home! It definitely helped my students feel better seeing photos of their new friends and where they would be living!
