[il Padrino Ute]

Kick the can was a great activity in my youth. I remember playing it during activity night for Scouts.

Another great game was steal the flag, though in junior high school, we played it with a bit of a twist:

We would wear jackets and safety glasses from shop class and run around with BB guns. There is a gully that divided the area I grew up in into 2 sides: north and south. We would plan during the week for a battle in the gully. One time - actually, the last time we played that version of steal the flag - there were about 150 kids running around shooting at each other. Someone's parent learned about it and called the authorities.

When my Dad asked me why I would do something so stupid, I told him that we were recreating the Battle of Gettysburg for history class. He didn't buy it.
