This is an easy but needed fix and do it soon as the play will damage the bearings if allowed to continue.

The hub should be disassembled, cleaned, greased and reassembled with the proper bearing clearance. The only special tool(s) you will need is a cone wrench to fit the thin flats on the axle cones. See Park Tools web site for a good tutorial on how to do all of this.
