Games - Circle Games - Duck, Duck, Goose
Duck, Duck, Goose
This is a favourite of younger children - you all sit in a circle facing in. One child is picked and they walk around the outside of the circle touching the head of each player in turn. Each time they do this they say "duck", they repeat this until they suddenly choose to say "goose". When this happens the child who was sitting that has been touched whilst the circling player has said "goose" gets up and runs around the circle in the same direction the first player was going.
The player that touched them has to catch them up before the player that got up can get back to the space the vacated. If they are caught the caught player becomes the new person going around saying "duck", "duck" and touching the heads of the players - choosing one and saying "goose". The original player who was picked sits in the space vacated by the player they caught.
