Talk:Hot potato

Hot Potato Game Described in Scout manuals
Manuals for younger boy and girl scout troop leaders contain references to the hot potato game.

The boy scout version seems to be a variant "balloon hot potato." http://www.boyscouttrail.com/content/game/balloon_hot_potato-60.asp Jim.Callahan,Orlando (talk) 17:21, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Origin of Pass the Parcel
Given that at least one source gives the origin of Pass the Parcel as the United Kingdom, it seems that a citation is needed for the claim that it is "known to come from Yankee traditions in northern United States." http://aroundtheworldactivities.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/pass-the-parcel-uk.pdf SkookumDog (talk) 21:30, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

"Pass the parcel" doesn't seem to be related to "hot potato". Why are they in the same article? Hypershock (talk) 12:52, 9 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Agreed. They're similar games and potentially one come from the other but they're not the same. I will split them. Mvolz (talk) 15:36, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
