Duck Duck Goose at our House

Duck, Duck, Goose!!! A simple game, right? At our house with a 2 year old and a 1 year old this game is fun and has a few changes. Here are a few of the things that the girls have done to make this game special at our house.

First, the funnest part is chasing around the circle. Therefore, there should be more of it. That means multiple laps around the circle. You don't stop running around the circle until mom or dad remind you that you are supposed to sit.

Second, The emphasis on running also means that regardless of whether you were it or tagged you can also stand up and join the frenzied chase. The more the merrier.

Third, you can show off your ability to learn new words. Elise learned to say Duck and Goose in order to play this game. She was so proud of herself learning the new words that she would stand behind a single person and continuously pat their heads saying Duck. This would go on until mom and dad reminded her to walk around the circle touching other peoples heads and reminding her that she can say Goose too.
