This hot potato game will keep kids active and help them develop hand-eye coordination.

Step 1: Sand or sit in a circle
Choose a leader. Have everyone else stand or sit in a circle, facing inward. The leader will start and stop the music.

Step 2: Give one person the tennis ball
Give one person in the circle the tennis ball. The ball will be the "hot potato."

Tip
You can also play with a small bean bag or an actual potato instead.

Step 3: Start the music and start passing around the ball
Start the music. The person with the ball quickly tosses it to the person to their right.

Step 4: Continue passing ball until the leader ends music
Continue tossing the ball quickly to the person on the right until the leader stops the music. The person holding the ball has the "hot potato," and is out of the game.

Tip
Have the eliminated player switch places with the leader so that the leader can join in the game.

Step 5: Keep playing until only one person is left
Keep playing until only one person is left in the game. The last person left without the "hot potato" is the winner.
