The players sit around in a circle facing inwards and one is chosen as leader. The leader steps
into the middle of the circle. Then an object, such "as a small potato, ball, stone or piece of
wood, is passed around from player to player. Each player must accept the object and pass it
very quickly. As the object is passed, the leader closes his or her eyes or turns away. When the leader yells "HOT," the player holding the potato is out. The game is played over and over again until every player but one is out. The last one left in the game is the winner. If more than 30 want to play, you can form two or more circles. Each circle must have its own potato to pass around, but you need only one leader. The winners from each circle can then form a final circle, to see who is the grand winner. You can also play this game with music, like Musical Chairs, with the leader stopping the music at intervals. |
