kick the can
Nostalgic chase game
Kick the can is a children's game combining tag and hide-and-seek, where players try to kick a can before being caught by whoever is "it." The phrase *kick the can down the road* means to postpone dealing with a problem rather than solving it: Congress keeps kicking the can down the road on immigration reform.
