A potato on a tablespoon has to go around a chair and back without falling off. Everybody moves fast and nothing gets broken, because you cannot hurry a wobbling potato.

What you need

  • 2 tablespoons
  • 2 potatoes, apples or lemons
  • 2 chairs as turning points

How to play

  1. Put two chairs at the far end of the room as turning points.
  2. Give each team a tablespoon with a potato balanced on it.
  3. Walk fast to the chair, around it and back, then pass the spoon on.
  4. Pick the potato up and carry on from the same spot whenever it drops.
  5. Run the second heat holding the spoon in your weaker hand.
