How To Play Duck Duck Goose

Step 1: You will need
Lots of people to play

Step 2: Sit in a circle
All the players form a circle and sit down in their places.

Step 3: 'It'
One person is 'It'. She walks around the outside of the circle.

Step 4: Say Duck
As she passes the rest of the players, she taps each of their heads and says 'Duck' each time she does.

Step 5: Call Goose
The person who's 'It' continues to go around the circle saying 'Duck' until she decides to tap someone and say 'Goose!' This person has to chase 'It' as she runs back to her place in the circle.

Step 6: A new 'It'
If 'It' reaches her place before she gets tagged, the person chasing her becomes 'it'. The new 'It' goes around the circle tapping people's heads and saying 'duck' just the same as in the first round.

Step 7: 'It' again
He will call someone 'goose' and be chased back to his place in the circle. If he is tagged, he must be 'It' once more and the person chasing returns to his place in the circle.

Done
Play the game in this way as many times as you like.

Un élève est appelé it. Il tourne autour de ses camarades en effleurant leur tête et prononçant : « duck ». A u un moment, il dira « goose ». L'élève désigné devra alors le pourchasser autour du cercle :

• Si cet élève touche « it », cet élève retournera s'assoir et « it » devra continuer sa tournée de « duck ».
• Si cet élève ne touche pas « it », cet élève prend le rôle de « it » et l'ex « it » va s'assoir à sa place.
