Duck...Duck...Huh?

When I was a kid (growing up in MN), we played a game in elementary school called "Duck, Duck, Grey Duck".  The premise was simple: One person was "it", and would walk around the outside of the classmates sitting in a circle.  Most students would get a tap on the head and a "duck" designation, but as soon as a "grey duck" was found, pandemonium reigned, as that student would have to jump up and try to catch the "tapper" before he/she ran all the way around the circle and jumped into the vacant seat.

It was a fun game.  Not quite in the realm of "Heads-up, Seven-up", silent ball, or the parachute/mini-scooter days of gym class, but still enjoyable nonetheless.

Yet, apparently, we are the only group of elementary learners who play this sacred duck-based game.  Among others, it is commonly known as "Duck, Duck, Goose".  While supposedly the exact same game, my upbringing begs to differ.

This guy agrees with me: Duck Controversy

How did you play this iconic childhood game?!
