A
children's
game which is
grand fun. To play, assemble a group of
children (or
Everythingians, but it's tough to
play in the
Chatterbox) and have them sit on the
floor in a
circle. One kid is selected to be "
It" and he or she walks around the circle, touching each
child on the head and saying "
Duck."
This continues for as long as the
sadistic toddler can draw out the
suspense, at which point he touches someone on the
head, says "
Goose," and starts
running. The
Goose leaps to his or her
feet and
chases "It" around the circle. If the Goose can tag "
It" before he can
sit in the Goose's former spot, then "It" is
out and has to sit in the
middle of the circle. If "It" is able to make it around the
circle and sit down without being
tagged, the Goose becomes "It" and starts the
cycle all over.
Eventually, only one kid will be left
outside of the circle, and that kid is declared the
winner.
Hooray! Now who wants
juice and
cookies?
