Upset The Fruit Basket

Place chairs in a large circle, so there is one less chair than total number of children participating.

 

  Every child will sit in a chair facing the center of the circle with one child leftover who will begin the game standing in the middle.   

Assign a Fruit to each Child in the circle. A banana, orange, or Apple

    The child standing in the middle of the circle will call out one of the Fruits.

    The seated children who are that fruit will then get up from their chairs and move across the circle to any open chair left by another child.

    Meanwhile, the child who called out the fruit will also try to find an empty seat and sit down.

    Most likely a new child will be leftover to call out the next Fruit of the Spirit of their choosing and the game continues.

    What ties this game to its title is the child standing in middle of the circle always has the option to call out “upset the fruit basket”, which means every seated child no matter their chosen fruit will have to get up from their seat to find a new one.  This can become a bit chaotic, but you are bound to hear some laughter, too.

    This game does not end with one winner, but there will be a child in the middle of the circle when you decide the game is finished.
