I live in a small ward. I have two callings. In addition to being an Activity Day leader, I teach Primary on Sunday. So even though it's not Activity Day related, I thought I would share this as well. It's a game I made up called "Righteous Chicken."
Righteous Chicken came about because I like to play, "were you paying attention Tic Tac Toe" at the end of class if we have extra time. This is where I divide the kids into teams, and ask each team a question, and if they get it right, they get to put an X or an O on the board.
If you've ever played Tic Tac Toe with anyone older than five, you know most games end in a Cat where neither player wins. I got tired of this. I wanted a game with a winner!
Thus Righteous Chicken was born. Righteous Chicken is short, incorporates both skill and luck, and the kids loved it!
Basically each team has five squares. At the start they pick 2 of the squares. Those are the secret targets.
After both teams have locked in their secret squares, you randomly select one team to go first. It's important that it be random because of the luck element. The first team to answer has an advantage, because if both teams guess equally well, the team that goes first will win every time. So, yeah... random.
Ask the first team a question from the lesson. IF they get it right... they get to pick a number, 1-5 (hoping it is one of the two numbers the other team selected). If they get it wrong... no guess for you! You alternate turns, and the first team to find both the other team's pre-selected squares wins.
