How Do You Play Red Hot Potato?
• Make a “hot potato”. It can be as simple as a knotted handkerchief or scrunched up aluminum foil. Or, you can use a children’s toy potato. There are also vegetable scrubbing brushes shaped like potatoes or even soap. Use your imagination! • Choose one player for the center. • Have the other players sit around in a circle. The one in the center throws the “potato” to anyone in the circle. This one must throw it to another player and so on, tossing it from one to another, and never allowing it to rest. Have the player in the center try to catch it. If he succeeds, the one who last tossed it exchanges places with him, and the game goes on as before.
