Screwdriver and hammer, but I imagine someone will be along to tell you to use the correct tools. ๐
You need the right freewheel removal tool

Hammer and wide scredriver will probably work, but then if you manage to fix the play it probably won't be worth putting back on. Get the right 4 prong tool. I like having the correct tool for the job, but then I'm a bit of a tool geek. Some may say there was no need for me to add geek there, but hey, whaddoIknow.
You need a freewheel removal tool and you'll have to put some weight behind it to get it undone*.
*Best to ask a grownup to help with this bit.
As above, it'll probably be very tight. I find its best to put the (correct) tool in a vice and turn the wheel. If you are friendly with your LBS it might be best just to get them to undo it.
a rock and an octopus...............i'll get my coat
I had the exact same issue a few months back (on my SS Genesis IO). Ended up buying a freewheel removal tool. The tool then was put in a vice and then the tyre was turned on top of the clamped tool.
Edit - beaten to it above!

Good luck and take a good look at your knuckles before hand they may never be the same again!

but not to worry beer would ease the pain....
with these tools helps if you have a vice - but tool in vice face up, put wheel on top then undo wheel wheel rim + tyre as leverage..
as bods have mentioned above
saves knuckles and often easier to undo
Cheers all.
