Daily Idea #221: Hot Hands

This game is so much fun and so obvious, I can’t believe I haven’t posted it yet! I am sure all of us “adults” played this game when we were kids and have probably even played with our kids before, but for today’s daily idea it’s our official activity!

To play this simple game, one person places their hands out in front of them, palms up. The other person places their hands (palms down), on top of the first person’s hands. The player whose hands are on the bottom has to move one or both hands as quickly as possible to try to tap the back of one or both of their opponent’s hands before they pull them away. If the person whose hands are on the top gets their hand tapped, players then switch (whomever was on the bottom is now the player whose hands are on the top and vice versa).
