ROCK ON THE DOCK

EACH PLAYER HAS ONE TIN CAN AND THERE IS A PERSON THAT
IS IT. HE TAKES HIS CAN PUTS IT ON ANOTHER CAN
AND SAYS "ROCK ON THE DOCK." EACH PLAYER PUTS HIS
CAN DOWN IN FRONT OF HIM AND WHILE "IT" WALKS AROUND
THE PLAYERS TRY TO PICK UP THEIR CAN AND KNOCK THE
ROCK OFF THE DOCK. IF THEY MISS THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY
"IT." IF THEY ALL SUCCEED THEN AFTER THE LAST PERSON
THROWS AND HITS IT, EVERYONE MAKES A DASH FOR THEIR
CAN; PICKS IT UP AND GOES BACK TO START, WHILE "IT"
TRIES TO CATCH SOMEONE. IF HE DOES, THAT PERSON IS
"IT."
