How to play Hot and Cold

  1. 1One player leaves the room while another hides a small object.
  2. 2The seeker comes back and starts searching.
  3. 3Everyone else calls out “warmer” or “hotter” as they get closer, and “colder” or “freezing” as they move away.
  4. 4When they find it, swap roles.

Variations

  • Musical version: hum louder as the seeker gets closer and quieter as they move away.

Tips

  • For very young kids, hide the object partly in view.
