HOW TO PLAY
1

Stand a tin can upright in the center of an open area and choose one player to be the guard.

2

All other players stand behind a throwing line and take turns tossing their slipper at the can, trying to knock it over.

3

After throwing, each player must retrieve their slipper and return to the line without being tagged by the guard, but only once the can has been knocked down.

4

While the can is still standing, the guard can tag any player who has already thrown but not yet grabbed back their slipper.

5

If a player is tagged before the can falls, they become the new guard.

6

If the can is knocked over, the guard must stand it back up before tagging anyone, giving throwers a chance to recover their slippers safely.
