How to play
Everyone sits or stands in a circle and holds both hands over their eyes like goggles. One person moves their right hand away from their face saying 'buck'. The person to their right repeats the action. This continues around the circle. To reverse direction, someone moves both hands away at once and calls 'BUCKERK!'. The direction reverses and the next person uses their left hand. Wrong hand, too slow, wrong word, or not loud enough and you're out. The mistakes are the fun of it.
