Get Active: Fruit Salad

Tuesday 14th November 2017

Form a circle of chairs that is one chair fewer than the total number of players. Select a player to stand in the middle of the circle. Then walk around the circle naming each player sitting in the circle as a fruit (use 3 or 4 different types of fruit in the same order i.e. apple, orange, pear, apple, orange, pear…). The player in the middle then calls out the name of one of the fruits. All those who were given that name of fruit must get up and change places, everyone else remains seated. The player in the middle must try and sit in an empty spot whilst players are changing places, if they manage to sit in a chair, the player not sitting in a chair goes into the middle. The player in the middle can also call ‘Fruit Salad’ and everyone who is seated has to change places, again the player in the middle is trying to get a seat. Generally the player in the middle should change each time.
