Hot Potato – Ancient and Still a Lot of Fun

Everyone has played Hot Potato at least once in their lives. It is an old game, but one that is always remembered. In addition to having fun, the game helps to develop motor coordination, the children’s attention, agility and many other skills.

It’s very easy to play and all that is needed is:

-Gather the children;

-A potato, a sock or a little ball.

Then just form a circle, seated or standing.

In the middle of the circle, there should be a player with his/her eyes closed.

Players pass the ball from hand to hand and everyone sings: “Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot Potato…”. Until the child in the middle yells when he wants, “Burned!”

The one with the ball in hand at this moment will be the next to go into the middle of the circle.

Let’s play?
