Kick the Can
(1940's version)

| This was a slight variation of hide and seek. A tin can was placed under the street light and was used as a base. The person who was It had to put his foot on top of the can and count to three if he spotted one of the other players from his hiding place. The player who had been hiding tried to kick the can away before getting counted out. If not, he was captured, and was out of the game until all the others playing had been caught. If one of the players kicked the can away before being counted out, all players captured up to that time were released, and they could run and hide again. A great game for nighttime play before we would get called home for bedtime. | ||
