MODEL 64-212
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The Rugrats Hot Potato Game uses the traditional 
hot potato type game play in a portable electronic 
version that was designed specifically for 
preschooler's. Led lights, simple game play and a 
sliding Tommy control work together to make a 
game that is fun and easy for preschooler's to play . 
The object of the game is to try to keep the light, 
which represents the ball, away from Tommy so 
that he is not "holding" the ball when the music 
stops. Use your sliding Tommy control to "throw" 
the ball back to the other Rugrats. If Tommy can 
"throw" the ball 10 times, without being caught with 
the ball when the music stops, he wins the game!
To ensure proper function and avoid battery leakage:
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
