    The way we play Hen's Fly
    One person calls out "hen's fly, ducks fly, birds fly," The person says other things fly, you are supposed to put up your hands and if you put your hands up and the thing cannot fly, then you get a slap, from someone that is playing. Suppose you put up your hands when a person says "cats fly". Then you get a slap because cats do not fly.
