Participants:Three to six persons
This is a relatively simple game. At least 3 players are needed, although the more, the merrier. One of the participants must volunteer to be the “it” first. Next, the participants must find a can, or something that can be knocked over easily from a distance. They should place it in the center of the game area (this will be the home plate or base). The game is played as follows: The “it” will defend the can from being knocked down. While the can is upright, the “it” can chase anyone and tag him or her. When a player is tagged and the can is still upright, the player tagged becomes the new “it.”The rest of the players must see to it that the can is always knocked down. The “it” can always put it back in the upright position. The rest of the players usually use their slippers to knock the can from a distance. If one gets close enough to the can without getting tagged, he or she can kick it and pick up the rest of the “weapons” or slippers that were thrown. Of course, it is usually up to the other players to get their own “weapons” or slippers. To be fair, it would be better if the players had only two slippers each to knock down the can, and no more than that. Once all the players are out of slippers, this would be a major opportunity for the “it” to chase everyone before the can is kicked. The can has to be positioned on a place that everyone will refer to as the base.
