When I was a kid we played outside all day. And in summer, all the kids in the neighborhood, (usually at least ten or twelve kids, ages five to fifteen) would gather every evening after supper to play Kick-the-Can. First we'd draw straws from somebody's broom. The kid who drew the shortest straw was "it" and the kid with the longest straw got to kick the can. Any old empty tin can would do. It would be placed in a central location then kicked as far as possible. The moment the kicker's shoe hit that can, all the kids would scatter and hide. The one who was "it" had to chase the can and bring it back to the home base, then cover his/her eyes and start to count.
