==Story==
A single duck needs to move their baby ducks across a wetland. In order to avoid being snatched by a predator, the ducks need to be well-trained in how to walk in a line and follow commands. Ducks often walk in a line, but this duck wants to make sure that their babies are perfect at.

====Action Call====
What's your level and ability to follow and share direction when your team needs you to?

==Game==

===Safety===
*Scout playing area for hazards: tripping objects, stinging insects, trash.

===Mission===
The Pathfinder is the lead duck. All other Trackers are baby ducks. The lead duck needs to move all her babies to the other side of a busy street. All the players get into a group of four people and line up with their hands on the shoulders of the person in front of them. Call out "Ducks ready?" Players respond with a loud "Quack!" The teach these commands:

#'''CHANGE''' The first person in line goes to the back. Yell “change” a few times so groups can practice.
#'''SWITCH''' The second and third people in line should switch places. Yell “switch” a few times, then alternate between “change” and “switch” a few times.
#'''ROTATE''' Everyone turns in place 180 degrees and faces the opposite direction.

Alternate between “change,” “switch,” and “rotate” a few times, giving the commands one at a time. Then speed up, giving groups of commands in rapid succession. Continue increasing the number of commands so participants have more to remember. Much hilarity and laughing shall ensue.

===Modify===
'''Add-on''' Give all the groups two minutes to practice on their own. Then resume giving long and complicated strings of commands.
'''Add-on''' Give fourth command: WIPE-OUT, which means leave your group and find a new group.
