How to play
A fun and active game for a small group.
There are two main roles in this game, the mother eagle and the attacking hawk. Select two people to play these roles. All other participants in the group are baby eagles.
To start this game, the baby eagles stand in a straight line behind the mother eagle. The mother eagle must protect the baby eagles. The baby eagles must stay in their straight line behind the mother eagle.
The hawk must try to get past the mother eagle, and tip one of the baby eagles. Once the hawk has tipped a baby eagle, the round ends and another mother eagle and hawk are selected. Try timing each round to see who the fastest hawk is.
