If you are a teacher or counselor playing with children, you should be in charge of the music. Make sure the music is loud enough so that all players can hear it clearly.

If you don’t have music, you can sing the hot potato song. Just yell “Hot potato, hot potato, hot potato” again and again at different speeds. [4] X Research source

Each round can last between 30 seconds and 2 minutes, depending on how many people are playing.

This version of the game is a great way to cool down in the hot weather. You don’t need to play this version of the game with music but you can if you want.

Once you hit your goal, see if you can break your record!

When the ball is dropped, start the game over rather than excluding someone from the circle.
