Kick the Can

Number of players: 10 or more

Equipment: Cones for boundary lines and one metal bucket and one hula hoop.

How to play: Create a circle 10 feet wide in diameter. The hula hoop is placed in the middle of the circle. One person is chosen to protect the can. The can is placed in the middle of the hula hoop; the person who is protecting it may not step into the hula hoop or touch the can whatsoever. Everybody else must spread out on the outside of the circle. Their job is to throw a ball and knock the can down, staying behind the line. If the can is knocked over, the person who threw the ball is now the guardian of the can. This game has time limits; after seven minutes, the person guarding the can wins.
