How to play the game called “Fruit Basket”
Each child is given the name of some fruit, such as apple, pear, peach, grapes, apricot, etc. The children are seated in chairs arranged in the form of a circle. One child remains standing in the center with no chair to sit in. This child, for example, might be called “Apple.” He would call “ ‘Pear’ and ‘Apricot’ change” Immediately the two children who have been given the names of these two fruits change chairs, only to be intercepted by the child bearing the name “Apple,” if he is quicker than the other children. This is kept up until every child’s name has been called. Occasionally, for a change, the child in the center of the ring calls “Fruit Basket turns over.” At this signal every child has to change places and there results a mad scramble. This game gives the children a chance to become familiar with the fruits which they should know.
