This is a pointless, neverending game that kids at camp LOVED!
It starts by one person asking another:
“Do you want to buy a duck?”
and then the conversation goes on like this:
Person 1: “Do you want to buy a duck?”
Person 2: “A what?”
1:”A duck.”
2:”Does it quack?”
1:”It quacks.”
2:”How much?”
1:”Five dollars.”
That’s all you have to know to play… because then person 2 turns, and asks someone else…
2:”Do you want to buy a duck?”
3:”A what?”
2:”A what?”
1:”A duck.”
2:”A duck.”
3:”Does it quack?”
2:”Does it quack?”
1:”It quacks.”
2:”It quacks.”
3:”How much?”
2:”How much?”
1:”Five dollars.”
2:”Five dollars.”
3:”Do you want to buy a duck?”
4:”A what?…”
etc.
The only way to get out is to say the wrong thing… eventually, you’ll have a whole line of people asking the questions… We would sometimes start this in the lunchroom, and criss-cross until everyone got confused!
I don’t know why, but it’s a hit… and once you start playing it, you’ll dread hearing… “Hey! You wanna buy a duck!?”
