Give the game of JENGA some new life! Have you ever thought about taking your game and making it unique?

There are a lot of ideas in the link above on how to take a stale game and make it something...NEW!

Do you ever get tired of playing the same old games on family game night? I know there are a lot of options out there but sometimes I feel like we get into a funk where we reach for the same games over and over. Not only does this get boring after awhile, it's also not very challenging. I feel like we don't always get to interact with each other as much as I'd like during family game night. This DIY Family Jenga Game is going to change all of that!

DIY Family Jenga is a great twist on a tried and true classic for game night. You only need a few supplies to make this custom game and in no time you'll have a great new option that will make everyone think while they play. Games that keep our brains moving while also entertaining us are my favorite.

Duck, Duck, Goose also known as Duck, Duck, Gray Duck. If someone tags your head and yells goose, the chase is on! Run after that person and try to tag him before he gets around the circle and sits in your spot.

Requires

Duck, Duck, Goose requires at least 5 players.

Game play

All the players, except the first person who is It, sit in a circle. It walks around the circle, tapping each player on the head, saying "duck" each time until he decides to tap someone and say "goose."

That person becomes the goose and runs after It, trying to tag him before It can take his seat. If It successfully reaches the goose's seat without being tagged, the goose is the new It.

If the goose tags It, then the goose keeps his spot in the circle and It must either continue to be It for another turn or sit in the middle of the circle until another It is tagged.

Objective of Duck, Duck, Goose

Have fun, get some exercise, and make sure everyone gets a turn being a goose and being It.

Summer twist

Cool off on a summer day with this fun rule change: Instead of It tapping each player, give him a bucket of water and have him drip water on the head of each player until he picks the goose and dumps the whole bucket on that person!
