The Exchange team was having a meeting with the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership team, when Jill Bella turned to me and said, "Duck, Duck...." And I, drawing on my North Dakota childhood experiences, added, "Goose." Jill then turned to Bonnie, raised in northern Minnesota, said "Duck, Duck..." and Bonnie replied, "Goose." However, when Sue Offut, raised in southern Minnesota, was queried, she replied, "Gray Duck."
So for some reason, this popular childhood game has regional variations. So this is the challenge to our readers: What is the background for these various versions of the game? Are there other variations?
Share your thoughts.
