Game Description:
A new twist on the old classic 'Musical Chairs'
Objective:
Try to avoid being the last person to find a spot when your fruit is called out. If you do, you will become the "caller" for the next round.
Game Rules:
This game is similar to musical chairs. To start, everyone stands in a circle with one person in the middle. Each person gets to choose to be one of 3 fruits (the 3 fruits are collectively chosen by the group). The person in the middle calls out one of these 3 fruits. The people who have identified as that fruit have to move to a different spot in the circle that has just opened up (including the person in the middle who called out the fruit). The last person to find a spot becomes the caller and calls a new fruit next round.
Saftey Considerations:
Remind the children to watch where they are running to avoid collisions.
Adaptations (optional):
Using small hoops is a great way to mark the spots around the circle. Any other type of colour-coded marker will work as well.
Progression (optional):
You don't have to use fruits as identifiers. The group can choose any 3 indicators such as hockey teams, types of pizza etc.
