About the game
The legend
The module retells a legend of why hawks hunt chicks. A hen borrowed a hawk’s ring so she could look pretty at a fiesta, then lost it. The hawk warned that if she could not find it, he would take her chicks. They became enemies, and that is why the hawk still catches chicks today. The lesson of the story: do what you have promised.
Mechanics of the game
- At least six players are needed. (The opening of Lesson 5 also says at least 10 players; follow your teacher’s guidance.)
- Choose one hawk and one hen. Everyone else is a chick.
- The chicks line up behind the hen, each holding the waist of the one in front. The hen spreads her arms like wings to protect them.
- When the hen moves to block the hawk, all the chicks move in the same direction.
- The chicks must never lose their grip, or the chain breaks and they are easily caught.
- A chick who is caught becomes the new hawk, and the hawk becomes a chick in the next round. The last chick in line is usually the hardest to catch.
Fitness components used
- Cardiorespiratory endurance to keep breathing well while running
- Muscular strength to hold a partner’s waist firmly
- Flexibility to move through a wider range of motion safely
- Agility to change direction and body position quickly and under control
- Speed to move quickly across the ground
Lesson 7 explains that invasion games let players move into the opponent’s space, occupy it, or defend their own. Its diagram groups the skills into offense (sending and receiving, attacking, speed and agility, gaining and keeping possession) and defense (spatial awareness, positioning, predicting movement).
Safety precautions
Before playing:
- Make sure you are healthy and free from any sickness.
- Wear proper attire that does not restrict movement.
- Play in a wide area with no obstacles.
- Do not carry sharp objects.
- Always warm up.
While playing and after:
- Warm up with breathing exercises, neck bending, shoulder rotation, arm circling, hip bending, half knee bends, and foot rotation.
- Hold the waist, not the head. Hitting other body parts is not allowed, and never hit players on purpose.
- Cool down: walk for 3 to 5 minutes, drink a glass of water, and massage your arms and legs.
How to use this module
- Learners: Work through each lesson in order: What’s In, What’s New, What is It, What’s More, What I Have Learned, and What I Can Do. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper, not on the module. Do the warm-up before every game activity.
- Parents: Several activities ask a family member to help, such as practicing running, throwing, jumping, catching, and holding, or playing the game together at home. Make sure the play area is open and safe.
- Teachers: The final assessment is a group checklist on enjoying the game, showing sportsmanship, and using a variety of skills. A self-check list of eight statements closes the module. The answer key says answers may vary, so most outputs need teacher review.

What is It
Lawin at Sisiw Posted by Rodnie EmpedradAugust 15, 2012
Hawk and Chicken (Lawin at Sisiw) is one of the strangest traditional Filipino games. The history of this game was based on legend
The story started when the family of Lolo Andres and Lola Anding together with their grandchild Roy and Lorna had a vacation in the province. One morning, while Roy and Lorna where playing at the guava tree they saw a hawk chasing the chicks of the hen. The hen was left behind as if it was trying to fight the hawk. Suddenly the two kids jumped over the ground and started yelling to the hawk that made it fly away. The attention of Lola Anding and Lolo Andres was called because of their loud voices. After that, the two kids were curious about what they saw. They asked their grandparents regarding it and Lola Anding started to tell the story about the hawk and the hen. In the past years, the hen and the hawk were friends until one morning the hen wanted to go to the fiesta where she wants to feel pretty in the eyes of a rooster. She asked a favor to the hawk if she can borrow his ring. Undoubtedly, the hawk gave the permission to the hen to borrow his ring but warned her to take care of it. She promised to take good care of the ring. In the next morning, the hen went to the fiesta. The rooster was happy to see her and they danced all along until she was sleepy and decided to head back home. In the next morning, she was shocked that the ring was lost. She searched for the ring everywhere but she could not find it. The time came when the hawk knew about what happened, she said to the chicken that if she could not find the ring, he would use his claws to get her chicks. Every day the hen and all the other hens struggled to find the ring to keep the safety of their chicks. Unfortunately, the two creatures ended up as enemies until the day they died. That is the reason why the hawk until now captures the chicks of the hen. The lesson of the story is you have to do what you have promised.

- When the hen moves to block the hawk, all chickens should also move in the same direction so the hawk could not attack them.
- In addition, they should never lose grip of each other’s waists or clothes, otherwise the chain will be broken and they will be easily caught by the hawk.
