Don't get stuck with the rubber chicken (or other available prop)! All students sit in a circle, with one person holding the chicken. The teacher (or "caller") selects a category, "Name five plants at Outdoor School. Pass the chicken!" As soon as the caller says, "Pass the chicken," the chicken is passed to the right. The students quickly pass the chicken around the circle. If the chicken gets all the way around the circle before the original chicken holder can name five plants, that person is still it. Otherwise, the person stuck holding the chicken, when the list of five is complete, is the new "it." Lists always have five items.
