DUCK DUCK GOOSE

HISTORY: A favorite from Kindergarten

GAME OVERVIEW

PLAYERS: 4 to 20

TYPE: A type of tag

HOW TO PLAY

* Gather players and have everyone sit in a circle except for one person who will be “it.”
* The person who is “it” walks around the outside of the circle, tapping each player’s head while saying “duck.”
* At any point, the “it” player can choose to say “goose” instead of “duck.” This means the chosen player must quickly get up and chase the “it” player around the circle.
* The goal is for the “goose” to tag the “it” player before they can return to the empty spot in the circle. If the “it” player makes it back and sits down in the “goose” spot, they are safe.
* If the “goose” tags the “it” player before they return to the spot, the “it” player continues to be “it” for the next round.
