Duck, Duck, GOOSE!
Fun game for little ones as it lets them choose who to play against in each round and it really gets them moving as they chase each other around the circle.
How To Play
Step 1.
One nominated to be "It" from the start. All other players sit on the floor in a circle. ("It") walks around the outside of the circle touching each player on the head.
Step 2.
As It touches each person she says "Duck" until at some point saying "Goose". The Goose then jumps up and chases It around the outside of circle.
Step 3.
It attempts to reach and sit in Goose's place in the circle, at which point The Goose is It. However, if The Goose tags It before this happens then It remains It for another round.

Effectively there is a little winner in each round, but this game is not really about wining and losing so much as having some fun, excitement and exercise.
