Upset the Fruit Basket

* I searched, and I didn't see this game on the website.  Forgive me if I overlooked it.*

Title:  Upset the Fruit Basket

Category:  Active Games

Age:  8 & up

Number of Players:  10 & up (better with large groups)

Materials:  Circle of chairs; one less than the number of players

How to Play:
Each player is given the name of a type of fruit.  You want at least three players for each fruit type, spread around the circle.  You also want at least three types of fruit.  One player stands in the middle of the circle, "it"; the rest of the players are seated.  "It" calls out a type of fruit, i.e., "apple".  All "apple" players must get up and switch seats, and "it" tries to grab a seat.  Whoever doesn't get a seat is now "it."  "It" can call out two types of fruit at once, or they can call "upset the fruit basket", which means everyone gets up and moves.

Other comments:
It's best if the chairs are sturdy.
