This terrific game is played just like Hot Potato, but in this version
you are not eliminated when you're caught with the potato. Instead, the next time you get the
potato, you have to pass it in a "fancy" way. The leader sets the order. Here are a few fancy ways to pass potatoes: 1. Over your head 2. Standing 3. Standing and turning around and sitting down 4. Under your left leg 5. Under your right leg 6. Around your neck 7. Behind your back 8. Shaking hands with the next player 9. Winking at the next player 10. Whistling or singing 11. Holding your nose 12. Bouncing up and down Of course, if you're caught again and again, you gather up your penalties. You have to do the fancy thing you did the first time and then add a new one along with it! When you've been caught several times, it takes you longer to pass the potato than anyone else, naturally, so you're more likely to be caught again! The person who is running the music or the clapping may or may not want to take advantage of you! |
