DONKEY ON THE ROCK

IT IS A VARIATION OF HIDE 'N' SEEK. YOU PUT A TIN
CAN ON A BRICK. THE ONE WHO IS "IT" MUST FIND THE
OTHER PLAYERS AND WHILE HE IS SEARCHING, SOMEONE CAN
COME AND KNOCK THE CAN OFF AND FREE THE ONES WHO ARE
CAUGHT.
EVERYONE MUST BE IN (I.E., CAUGHT) BEFORE THE GAME
IS OVER. THEN THE ONE WHO WAS "IT" KNOCKS THE CAN
OFF AND CALLS ANOTHER NAME OF THE NEXT ONE TO BE
"IT."
