DUCK ON THE ROCK

AN EMPTY CAN WOULD BE PLACED ON A ROCK. ONE CHILD WOULD BE IT AND
STAND NEXT TO THE ROCK. THE REST OF THE PLAYERS WOULD STAND SOME
DISTANCE AWAY, ARMED WITH OTHER EMPTY CANS. THE ONE WHO WAS ABLE TO
KNOCK THE CAN FROM THE ROCK WOULD HAVE TO PLACE THE CAN BACK ON
THE ROCK BEFORE THE ONE WHO WAS "IT" COULD DO IT OR ELSE HE WAS OUT
OF THE GAME.
