Quick answer
The Farting Dave game is a laugh-out-loud hot potato style game where players pass a farting Dave figure around the circle until he makes a sound, and the player holding him loses a token.
What makes Farting Dave different from other hot potato games
Unlike a timer or music, Dave decides when to make noise, creating unpredictable bursts of laughter. The game includes a fart sound effect that kids find hilarious, but it’s not overly loud or startling. Each round is short, so players stay engaged without getting bored. The game is best for 3+ players and ages 4 and up, making it a great choice for preschool and early elementary parties.
How to play Farting Dave: step by step
- Set up the game: Place the Farting Dave figure in the center of the play area. Give each player one or two tokens (the game includes tokens, but you can use any small objects). Arrange players in a circle sitting on the floor or around a table. Make sure the figure is on a flat, non-slippery surface so it doesn't tip over during play.
- Start the round: The youngest player picks up Dave and presses his belly to start the round. Immediately pass Dave to the player on the left. Keep passing around the circle in the same direction. Dave will make a random farting sound after a few seconds to a minute. Don't hold Dave too tightly — squeezing his belly might trigger the sound early. Pass him gently.
- When Dave farts: The player holding Dave when he makes a sound loses one token and places it in the center. That player then starts the next round by pressing Dave's belly again. Play continues until one player loses all their tokens. If two players are touching Dave when he farts, the player who was holding him last takes the penalty. Decide before starting who counts as 'holding' if hands overlap.
- Win the game: The last player with at least one token remaining wins. For a shorter game, start with fewer tokens per player (e.g., 2 instead of 3). If you want to avoid elimination, play without tokens and just have the player who gets caught do a silly dance instead.
