One player is chosen as the 'hawk' and another as the 'hen'.
The other players are the 'chickens'. The chickens stand
one behind the other, each holding the waist of the one
in front. The hen stands in front of the file of chickens.
The hawk will 'buy' a chicken from the hen. The hawk will then take
the chicken, asks him/her to hunt for food and goes to sleep. While the hawk
is asleep, the chicken will return to the hen. The Hawk wakes up and tries
to get back the chicken he bought while the hen and other chickens prevent the
hawk from catching the chicken. If the hawk succeeds, the chicken is
taken and punished. If the hawk fails to catch the chicken, the hawk will try to
buy the chicken. The game actually came from Japan.
