Players sit in a circle with one player standing. Hockey sticks and a ball are placed at the edge of the playing area. Standing player walks around the circle tapping players saying duck or goose. If goose is said that player and the standing player race to sticks and ball. The two players try to score through the goals. Player with the ball is the attacker and other defender. Roles may swap before goal is scored. Player who scores sits in the circle and non scoring player walks around the circle i similar fashion as before.
Make sure that sticks are placed evenly to keep a safe area. If one player is continually not scoring change the player over.
