Duck Duck Goose

How To Play

Sit the students down in a circle.

• One student is "it" and walks around the outside of the circle. As they walk around, they tap the player's heads and say whether they are a "duck" or a "goose". Once someone is the "goose" they get up and try to chase "it" around the circle

• The goal is for the “goose” to catch “it” before they are able to sit in the "goose's" spot. If the goose is not able to do this, they become "it" for the next round, and play continues.

• If they do catch "it", the person tagged has to sit in the center of the circle.

• Then the goose becomes “it” for the next round. The person in the middle can't leave until another person is tagged and they are replaced.
