How do you play potato?

Put one fist on top of the other for “one potato”. For “two potatoes”, keep the top fist in the same position and bring the bottom fist up and plonk it on top. Keep doing this so that your fists are climbing higher all the time. When you get to “more” say the word more loudly and open your hands dramatically.

How many people do you need to play hot potato?

You need at least 3 people to play hot potato, but the game is even more fun with more people. Get your friends together and form a circle in a room that has enough space for everyone. Get a cell phone, radio, or device that can play music.
