KICK THE CAN

ONE PERSON COUNTS TO FIFTY AND ALL THE OTHER PLAYERS
HIDE. ONE PLAYER TRIES TO KICK THE CAN BEFORE THE
PERSON COUNTING TAGS HIM. IF THIS PLAYER IS ABLE
TO KICK THE CAN WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT, THE SAME COUNTER
MUST START OVER AGAIN. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL SOME ONE
IS CAUGHT AND A NEW MEMBER GETS TO (BE) THE COUNTER.
