Using a beanbag, small ball or potato. Have the children sit in a circle play music as the children pass the hot potato around, when the music stops whoever is holding the hot potato is dismissed. They may go to an activity or just slide back from the circle, the game continues until there is one child left.

You may like to use this game for another activity, having the child holding the hot potato name ryhming words, animals, favourite things, or to match things (opposites, colours) before leaving.
