DUCK ON THE ROCK

ANY NUMBER CAN PLAY THIS GAME. EVERYONE HAS AN EMPTY
TIN CAN AND PLAYERS FORM A CIRCLE. ONE PERSON IS IT,
AND HE HAS TO STAND IN THE MIDDLE AND PLACE HIS CAN
ON TOP OF A ROCK. THE PLAYERS IN THE CIRCLE HAVE TO
THROW THEIR CANS AT THE CAN ON THE ROCK AND TRY TO
KNOCK IT OVER. IF A PLAYER THROWS HIS CAN AND MISSES
HE MUST RETRIEVE IT BEFORE HE IS TAGGED BY THE PLAYER
IN THE MIDDLE. WHEN SOMEONE IS TAGGED, HE REPLACES
THE PLAYER IN THE MIDDLE.

Submitter comment: INFORMANT IS A FRIEND'S FATHER, AND HE CLAIMED THAT
HE USED TO PLAY THIS GAME WHEN HE WAS A SMALL BOY.
