Guest T-Bone Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I remember playing "Duck, Duck, Goose" as a child. I played it all the time. Now, for the life of me, I am unable to remember how it was played. Care to enlighten me?
Jaime Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 I know a game called duck duck greyduck. But I have no idea how duck, duck, goose would be played. It sounds communist to me. Google duck duck greyduck for the all the rules of this lovely childhood game!
scardella Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Duck, duck, goose is the canonical form of the game, to do so would put you in trouble w/ the PT law... and you don't want to get in trouble w/ the PT law.

I don't think I ever fully understood the point of Duck Duck Goose. It was a very stressful game, though. You were on edge the entire time, not sure if someone was going to call you "goose" and then you'd have to get up and chase them around the circle. I think if they got back to your spot first, you were it. If you caught them, they were in the middle, but then I don't know who was it again ...
ardillacid Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Duck duck greyduck is the REAL name of the game
Dudette Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Duck, duck, goose is a very dangerous game. At one of the camps I helped out in, a girl broke her leg playing it. I'm not kidding!
prose Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 My two year old LOVES that game! duck duck duck GOOSE!! Run!!!

[right][snapback]758453[/snapback][/right] [/quote] There was no middle in my duck duck goose. If you caught them, they were still it. If not, you were it. I was really mean when I played this game. I'd go "duck, duck, go..nah duck, duck." I liked having people on edge. My favorite game was kick the bottle. It was one of the best games to play on a sidewalk (no sitting on the ground required).

I always wanted to play [i]spin[/i] the bottle, but never had a chance to do that either. The middle in DDG was "the pot." I really don't know where it came from. I hated that game.
prose Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 Is kick the bottle the same game as kick the can?

[right][snapback]758484[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Yes. But being in NYC, bottles were far more accesible than cans. People collected the cans for money so we never had any spare ones lying around.

franciscanheart Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 it was called the MUD pot sometimes when i played. other times there was no pot. ( ) it really was a very stressful game though. now that i think about it, thats almost torture to play.

Apparently mastering that game led to the proper utensils used for the other game.
