Fruit Basket Upset

Materials: None

Object of Game: To be the last player tagged

How to play: Each player will be assigned to be one of the following five fruits—apple, peach, pear, orange, or mango. Then have each team go to one of the four corners of the gym. Choose two people to be IT. The ITs will stand in the middle of the gym. Call out one of the five fruits. Those people who are that fruit will have to run to the opposite corner (diagonally) of the gym. While they are running, the ITs will try to tag them. If they get tagged, they are out, and will become another IT. The games leader may call any fruit or may call “Fruit Basket Upset,” and then all the fruits run. The leader may also call two or more specific fruits (e.g., apple and orange).
