Outdoor Game: "Hot Potato"


During this gross motor game by Colleen, preschool and kindergarten youngsters use their feet instead of their hands.

Materials: Medium size playground ball.

Description: Put a medium sized ball in the center of a circle along with a child chosen to be 'it'.  The child who is 'it' pushes the ball with his or her feet, trying to get it out of the circle. The other children try to stop the ball with their feet.  Once the ball is out, another leader is chosen.  The ball is called the 'hot potato' and the children will enjoy trying to keep it in the 'oven'.
