Fruit Basket!

Divide the class into four groups and have them move into each corner of the gym or play area. Give each group 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 it “Fruit Basket”, all of the children run and sit in the centre 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.
