Funny Fair Games
Rubber Chicken Chucking
Welly Wanging is so last year.
These days its got to be Rubber Chicken Chucking!
Funny fair games like this are guaranteed to get people laughing and queuing up to have a go!
So what exactly is Rubber Chicken Chucking?
Rubber Chicken Chucking is pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. Rubber chickens are thrown, tossed, lobbed or catapulted along a course all in the name of charity fundraising.
Chicken Chucking makes a brilliant addition to a Summer Fete or School Fair but also could easily be used as the main component of a stand-alone fundraising event.
Novel fundraising ideas like this are guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face and have them queuing up to take part.
There are 2 versions of Chicken Chucking:
1. Distance - In distance chucking competitors try to hurl the chicken as far down the course as possible. All throws are marked with a stick or plastic plant label.
You may like to have separate competitions for adults (men and women) and kids. Use a leader-board showing the top 3 throws to encourage friendly rivalry and repeat attempts. Who is going to let themselves be beaten at chicken chucking?
At the end of the day the furthest throw wins and the Chicken Chucking Champion is crowned.
2. Chicken in a Basket / Chicken in a Bucket - In this version competitors try to land the chicken in a dustbin, or laundry basket from a set distance. Successful throws win a prize.

Rubber chickens are available mail-order, on the internet or can usually be found at joke shops or as a dogs toy in pet stores. Champion chicken chuckers tell us that greater distance can be achieved if the rubber chickens are weighted slightly! Check out the rubber chickens on Amazon |
