Gray Duck? Are you kidding?

Crude representation of how Duck Duck Goose is...

Duck, Duck, Goose  is a traditional children’s game called different things around the world.

In Minnesota, it is called ‘Duck, Duck, Gray Duck’. The object of this game is to walk in a circle, tapping on each child’s head until you finally choose one to be the new picker (Gray Duck!!). Then, that person is suppose to chase you down and tag you before you get back to sit in their spot.

I pretty much rocked at this game and thought it would be a good name for a blog.

What do you call it? Vote on my poll here.

  1. You Western Wisconsin folks are good people.

  2. Its Duck, Duck, Gray Duck in western Wisconsin too…

  3. Was this a scientific poll? There obviously is a lot of gray area here. ;)

  4. I actually did a poll on my blog. Duck Duck Goose won. Just sayin’.
    ;)

  5. I’ve only ever heard this game called Duck Duck Goose. I’m open to an adult interpretation of the meshing of the two and calling it Duck Duck and a splash of Grey Goose.

  6. My pals in Winona played DD Gray Duck too. It’s not just the TC.

  7. Thanks for visiting Northern Dude. I’m mainly speaking in general terms here…

    I’m sure you’ve heard this and surprised that you haven’t amended your description here…
    Duck, Duck, Gray Duck is only used in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. Up north, we called it Duck Duck Goose like everyone else in the U.S.
