@justmere I have never even heard of duck duck "grey"! Is that really what you guys call it?!

Is it the same game, where the kids sit around in a circle and one goes around the outside, picks someone, and tries to race back to their spot without getting caught? (Something like that, it's been about 30 years since I played! )

Yeah, duck, duck, grey duck is the same game. Bring back your inner child! get a game going at the office. Why Do Minnesotans Say 'Duck, Duck, Gray Duck?' - CBS Minnesota

At the cost of those chaotic one's its better to replace it with the 8K OR 4K VR Machine.

Why wouldn't it work. Is just incredibly unsafe, since those screws will have mains voltage and a quick touch can easily kill you.

I think kids of every country had played this game at least once , I used to play it with my other classmates when i was of 1st to 3rd grade student , But we never said it duck duck grey or duck duck goose , just got to know what you guys say it

True, in Europe this game is called “travel to Rome” or “travel to Jerusalem”, depends on the area.

What I know as “Reise nach Jerusalem” is a different game though. You’ve got a bunch of chairs, one less than children, and music’s playing and the kids walk around. When the music stops you gotta get a chair or you’re out.

Never played “Duck Duck Goose” as a kid. Only know it from American TV.

We have this game in America too, but it is called “Musical Chairs.” (Very creatively named, don’t you think? )

Very much so. ^^

We played a variation when I was 9 in school in sports. Instead of chairs we had rings lied out on the floor, and when the music stopped every kid had to be in a ring - one person per ring - or they were out.

Music stopped, I jumped into one, unfortunately a rather heavy girl did too. The result was an almost perfect 90° angle in my forearm where there shouldn’t have been one; both bones were broken clean. Still have the scars from the two following operations. xD

And when we combined it with a cake as the prize for landing on a specific chair, we called it a “Cake Walk.”

[BruceLakeriver]

ah ok, then I was mistaken, sorry

@Bro

And when we combined it with a cake as the prize for landing on a specific chair, we called it a “Cake Walk.”

The history of that term is a surprising one, and what it means now is kind of cause for question. Although, this piece pulled from wikipedia, i really appreciate:

Wikipedia, “Cakewalk”:
Amiri Baraka in Blues People explained the strangeness of a slave dance covertly mocking white slaveholders that later was adopted by whites unaware of the mockery: “If the cakewalk is a Negro dance caricaturing certain white customs, what is that dance, when, say, a white theater company attempts to satirize it as a Negro dance? I find the idea of white minstrels in blackface satirizing a dance satirizing a dance satirizing themselves a remarkable kind of irony—which, I suppose, is the whole point of minstrel shows.”[22]

People unaware of mocking themselves I think this fits in “funny things.”

I’d have to come up with a cooler story than that for the scars! LOL

I entered ten puns in a
contest to see if any would win.

No pun in ten did.
