Papa caliente
Se puede cambiar un poco; algo como:
¿Por qué gritan las papas en el patio de recreo?
-Juegan a la papa caliente...

subibaja
This is a play on words with "teeter-totter," which is the "subibaja" o "colompio." I don´t think there would be a way to translate this and retain the play on words. Let´s see what the others suggest!

: Estoy de acuerdo con la explicación de que es difícil el juego de palabras. Es algo que por lo visto sólo en inglés tiene sentido. Teeter-totter es un subibaja y tater-tots son una manera de preparar las papas.

Tatter tots (no estoy seguro de que se escriba así) es una forma de preparar las papas.
El teeter-totter es un subibaja.
