Duck, Duck, Goose

Be quick to jump up and chase!

Environment and Set Up

  • Find a safe space to be able to move around that is big enough for your family and is not slippery.
  • Everyone sits cross-legged in a circle.

Rules

  • One person is “It.”
  • The person that’s “It” walks around the outside of the circle, touching each head, saying, “Duck” each time.
  • After tapping a few people they pick one person, by touching their head, and say, “Goose!”
  • The person that’s “It” then runs around the circle away from the Goose, who has to jump up and try to catch them.
  • “It” is trying to get all the way around the circle and back to the Goose’s empty spot to sit down before being caught by the Goose.
  • If the Goose can’t catch “It” before they sit down, he or she is now “It”.
  • Repeat the game until everyone has had 1 or 2 turns of being “It”.
