Fruit Basket

This is a great family game that will get you laughing! It's great in any setting and with all kinds of groups, it's not difficult and you don't need anything to play.  It's a great one for camping trips too!



Materials needed: none
# of people: 4 or more

This game is simple.  The players will all sit in a circle.  Each player will pick a fruit that they will be identified with.  No 2 people can have the same fruit.  Once everyone has chosen their fruit and stated it to the group play will start.  All that will happen is 1 person is chosen to start and they will say something like "apple calling grape" (apple being their own fruit and grape being another players fruit).  Whoever is grape will then say "grape calling kiwi" and kiwi will say "kiwi calling huckleberry" and so on.  When it's your turn you can call out any fruit in the circle but your own. 

The catch that makes the game funny and challenging is that players must talk with their lips curled over their teeth.  No player is ever allowed to show their teeth, even if it is not their turn.  It can get pretty hard because it's pretty funny to watch and listen to people talk with their lips curled around their teeth, so when you laugh you have to try and laugh without showing your teeth. 

There are 3 ways to get "out"
1. You will be out if you show your teeth at any time.
2. You will be out if you hesitate in calling out another fruit on your turn.
3. You will be out if you call a fruit that none of the players chosen.  For example, let's say there are 8 players grape, strawberry, peach, grapefruit, blueberry, banana, apricot and huckleberry.  If grapefruit says "grapefruit calling apple" then grapefruit would be out because there is no apple.

The last person left after everyone is out is the winner.

Have fun!
