Kick the Can
A.K.A. Tag the Pole
Another Variation
This is an exciting combination of hide and seek and tag. One person closes their eyes and counts to some high number, while everyone elsehides. Then, the person who counted (who has incidentally been guarding "the can") has to run around the neighborhood and find everybody.The tricky part is that once a person is found, they have a race, wherethe person who has just been found has to try to kick the can over beforethe counter tags them. When that game gets boring, there seems to alwaysbe those kids who will hide in a dumb, easy to discover place, with the intent of sprinting for the can if they're caught... it's a good gamefor building paranoia into your character. :)
