![]() ![]() The fruit basket game is also similar to another game, castles and beavers, in a lot of ways, except you’re inside instead of running around outside. Variations: There’s a get-to-know-you version of this game played with traits instead of fruits. ![]() Also, if you’re halfway through your game and realize that there’s one or two fruits that no one’s calling because everyone’s forgotten about them (like that kumquat guy), you might want to remind everyone of everyone’s fruit. Rules: You can set a rule that a player getting up from a chair must find a new one at least two seats away (to encourage players to get up and run around). The game continues until you want to stop. Mass pandemonium and good fun ensues as everyone tries not to be left without a seat. You can also call out fruits by saying things like, “Any fruit that is red” or “Fruits with pits” or “Berries,” phrases that describe multiple fruits.Įither way you play, at any time, the player in the middle also has the option of calling out “Fruit basket!” When that happens, all players get up from their chairs and find a new one. In a case like this, you can make a rule that the person in the middle always calls out two fruits, or you could leave it up to the person to call out however many fruits he or she wanted. That way if Geoffrey called out “kumquat!,” the kumquat guy wouldn’t feel all alone and hurt because he wouldn’t have anyone else’s chair to take and would be forced to be It. If you have some players that are the only ones assigned to their fruit (like the kumquat guy), it would be a good idea to have Geoffrey call out more than one fruit. In the end, a player (hopefully not Geoffrey) would be left without a seat. That player would then call out another fruit and the game continues. Geoffrey would also try as fast as he could to sit in one of the open seats. Geoffrey starts the game by calling out the name of a fruit, like “strawberries!” As soon as he calls out a fruit name, any player sitting in the circle assigned to that fruit would jump up and try to find a new seat. One player will be left standing – say it’s Geoffrey. Next set up the game by arranging all the chairs in a big circle and having everyone sit in a chair. (It’ll probably be the creative quirky guy who chooses kumquat or something like that.) Again, it’s okay (even preferable) if more than one person has the same fruit, but you might get someone who’s the only one with his or her fruit, and that’s okay, too. If you’re playing with a large group of older players, you might let everyone choose his or her own fruit. It’s okay (in fact, preferable) if multiple people have the same fruit, so you might use only two or three fruits. Instruct players to remember their fruit. If you have young players or a smaller group, you might want to assign the fruits yourself, labeling players as strawberry, orange, apple, etc. Depending on the number and age of the players, you can do this several different ways. How to play: First you’ll want to assign each player a fruit. ![]() ![]() What you need: Enough chairs for all of your players (minus one) and an open room big enough to hold all of the chairs in a circle. What it is: A simple game for big groups, easy enough for young kids, and also entertaining for older kids and adults.īest for: A big group of at least 8 players. ![]()
