Duck, Duck, Goose

[Spinney]

To settle a debate with a friend.
I recently came across mention of this childrens game.
I'd never heard of it before - have you?

(It's an american game)

 

[summerdays]

American... ? Definitely heard of it though... sit in a circle and tap the heads of the child as you go around then chase?

Well even played it as the coordinator... not sure if I played it as a child.

 

[Threevok]

Yes, but only through an episode of the Simpsons

In fact, the Simpsons have taught me most of my knowledge of American culture.

I also learned some passable Spanish from Dora the Explorer

My elder daughter(who is now 21) played it in nursery

 

[Levo-Lon]

Never heard of it.

 

[Beebo]

My kids played it, but i had never heard of it before the went to nursery.
Everyone sits in a circle runs around when chosen.

Heard of it. Never played it. Don't know the game itself.

Oh, yes, we played the handkerchief version

"I wrote a letter to my lover, on the way I dropped it.
Someone must have picked it up and put it in their pocket."

Yep, played lots with my Cub pack, and my daughters Brownie group

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Nope, not heard of it. Maybe I've lead a sheltered life.

Heard the term years ago but Only recently (2 weeks ago) found out what the game was when my 3yo daughter asked me and my wife to play it with her and taught us. She must have played it at preschool recently.

That's if she's taught us correctly, sit in a circle and someone walks round tapping heads saying duck, duck, duck then randomly taps someone goose, that then have to run round and sit down before they are tagged by the goose?

If not I quite like her version anyway.

What a coincidence how a thread has been started about it.

Checked a similar game, Drip, Drip, Drop. Used to be a cup of water used though.

We play it in our school, mostly in the summer, on the field. Probably with Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.

My cub pack played it. They thought the version that went "toilet, toilet, flush" was hilarious.
