Items Needed

Instructions

  2. Play or sing music while the Scouts pass the hot potato around the circle.
  3. When the music stops, the Scout holding the hot potato is out.
  4. Continue playing, removing one Scout each round, until only one Scout remains.
    • Optional: Spread the circle out after each round to make passing more challenging.
