a) Icebreaker

Name that Chicken/Stuffed Animal Game:

Facilitator gets all participants standing in a circle, and brings out one chicken/animal (without letting on that there are others). S/he throws it to a participant across the circle, calling out her/his name. The participant throws it to someone else, calling out that person’s name, and so on. The facilitator takes out another chicken/animal while this is going on, but the throwing and naming must be exactly as with the first chicken/animal. The facilitator continues to pull out more chickens/animals and repeats the process. Game ends with everyone howling with laughter amidst the chaos.

Time: 15 min.

Materials:
- flipchart
- markers
- tape
