Duck, Duck, Goose

On our block we played a game called Duck, Duck, Goose. The
game consisted of at least four players in a circle, either
standing or sitting. The more people the better. The leader would
start off by walking around the circle tapping each person a duck,
until the leader felt ready to tag someone the goose. The goose
would in turn chase the leader around the circle until the leader
is either tagged out or reaches the vacant space that the duck came
out of. If the leader safely reaches the space then it's the
duck's turn to be the leader.
