"Duck, Duck, Goose" is a children's game that originated in Sweden and is known as "Anka Anka Gr" in Swedish. It was brought to the United States by Scandinavian immigrants in the 19th century. The game involves players sitting in a circle while one person walks around tapping each player on the head, saying "duck" until they choose someone as the "goose." The chosen player then chases the first person around the circle. The game is popular at children's parties and in schools as a fun and interactive activity.

Why do Minnesotans say duck duck grey duck?

I grew up in Minnesota. In my mind, the two games are completely different (and Grey Duck is a LOT more fun than Goose) and should be able to coexist peacefully. In Duck Duck Goose, the goose is the obvious odd one out. It sounds different, it looks different, it feels different to say. In Duck Duck Grey Duck, a rule is added: every duck has an adjective (eg. blue duck, green duck, spotted duck, orange duck, yellow duck, grey duck). This adds elements of creativity and stealth to the game.
