Having survived camp (or while enduring its rigors), kids may want to try out The Official Kick the Can by Sharon McKay and David MacLeod, illustrated by Marilyn Mets. The package consists of--what else?--a tin can (filled with such paraphernalia as a ball, marbles, chalk and a yoki rope) and a paperback guide to 25 old-fashioned street games (Andrews & McMeel/Somerville House, $10.95, ISBN 0-8362-4515-6 May).
