"Everybody"...? There was no such game that I ever saw in New York
City. We did have "Tag You're It," though; and of course, the two
games that of all things you ever learned in school were best able to
prepare you for a career as a bureaucrat, "Mother May I" and "Simon Says."

Everybody..../except /everybody from Minnesota. Everybody from
Minnesota played a game called "duck, duck, gray duck". Tell a friend
from Minnesota that you played "duck, duck, goose" as a kid, and they
will think you are pulling their leg.

When I moved from the Bronx to the Mid-Hudson Valley in 1958 I was
shocked to discover that the high school closed on the first day
of deer
hunting season: so many teachers took the day off they couldn't
keep the
school open.
