Duck on a rock is a children's game played outdoors, typically involving a small stone or object placed on top of a larger rock or platform. The aim of the game is for one participant, known as the "ducker," to protect the stone from being knocked off by other players, known as the "ducks."
The game requires a minimum of two players, but can accommodate a larger group. The ducker stands next to the rock, guarding the stone while the ducks aim to dislodge it by throwing smaller stones or objects at it from a distance. The ducks take turns attempting to knock the stone off, and if successful, they will become the next ducker.
In this game, accuracy, and strategy are crucial. Ducks must carefully aim their throws to dislodge the stone while avoiding hitting the ducker directly. The ducker must possess quick reflexes and defensive techniques to prevent the stone from falling.
Duck on a rock is not just a test of physical skill but also promotes coordination, focus, and fair competition among the players. It encourages an active and spirited outdoor play experience, fostering social interaction and friendly rivalry. As a popular and timeless game, duck on a rock has been enjoyed by children across generations, promoting both physical activity and creativity in devising strategies to win.
