Game
This game is played the same as Duck Duck Goose.
Gather your family and friends and sit in a circle.

The skipper stands up and skips around the outside of the circle.
-
He/she gently taps the other players' heads and says, "friend," "friend," "friend..."
-
The skipper chooses someone to chase him/her by tapping their their head saying, "PAL."
-
The PAL stands up, runs clockwise, and tries to gently tag the skipper.
-
If the PAL tags the skipper, he/she can go back and sit in their spot.
-
If the PAL does not tag the skipper, he/she becomes the new skipper and starts the game all over again.

The game ends when everyone has had a turn.
