Divide the class into 4 groups and have them move into each corner of the gym or play area. Give each of the groups a fruit name such as apples, oranges, bananas and watermelons.
Call two of the fruit names and those groups have to run and change places. They maintain the same name throughout the game.
When you call "Fruit Basket" all of the children run and sit in the center of the gym. (I use this to end the game).
Caution: With the little ones, this can cause collisions!
This also works well under the parachute.
