ALL PLAYERS SIT IN A CIRCLE. ONE PERSON IS "IT"
AND GOES AROUND TO EACH PLAYER, TAPPING HIM ON THE
HEAD AND SAYING "DUCK." CHOOSING ONE PLAYER,
THE PERSON WHO IS IT WILL TAP HIM ON THE HEAD
AND SAY "GOOSE," AND THIS PERSON MUST CHASE "IT"
AROUND THE CIRCLE AND TRY TO CATCH HIM BEFORE HE CAN
REACH THE "GOOSE'S" PLACE AND SIT DOWN.
