Fruit Basket Upset Game

For this game you will need enough chairs for each player minus one. So everyone will sit in a circle and one person will be left standing. Place chairs in a circle with at least three feet from the person standing in the middle. Each player is given a fruit name. Example: banana, apple, grape, banana , apple, grape... There should be several people who are given the same fruit. The person in the middle has the freedom to call out a fruit that has been assigned to the group or to call "Fruit Basket Upset." If the player in the middle calls out a fruit, those who have that fruit name have to get out of their seat and find a new seat. They cannot sit back down in their own seat. The person in the middle races to find a seat and a new person is left standing in the middle. If the person in the middle says, fruit basket upset, then everyone gets up and tries to find a new seat. The object of the game is to get a new seat and not be the person left standing. Kids love this game. To avoid having kids purposely trying to be the last one standing, tell them that if they get left in the middle more than three times, they are out of the game. It's a good idea to instruct that no one pushes down anyone who may be smaller. They have to be careful! Have fun!

I played this as a child in the 70's and it was great and crazy in Girl Scouts.
