Hot potato
Pass an object around the circle while the music plays; whoever holds it when it stops is out.
- Players
- 5–20
- Time
- 5–10 min
What you need
- A soft object: a stress ball, a rolled-up sock
- Music from a phone
How to play
- Stand or sit in a circle.
- Start the music with your back turned; pass the object around as fast as you can.
- When the music stops, whoever holds it is out.
- Keep going until two players are left; they pass it back and forth to decide it.
Office tip: For a talking version, whoever holds it answers a question instead of leaving.
