Fruit Salad Game

This is an easy no-prep circle game for youth ministry, Vacation Bible School (VBS), church camp, or religious ed. It could be used for a lesson on the Fruits of the Spirit or to accompany discussion about “bearing good fruit”.

Fruit Salad Game

1. Have the group sit in a circle.
2. Assign each player to be a apple, orange, banana, or grape.
3. Have one person start in the middle of the circle. He or she calls out one of the fruits.
4. Everyone who is that fruit must get out of their seats and find a different seat.
   1. The person in the middle will also try to take one of the seats.
   2. They cannot change seats with a person directly next to them.
5. Whoever doesn’t find a seat is now in the middle.
6. Instead of calling out one of the fruits, the person in the middle can call out “fruit salad”. In this case, everyone must find a new seat.
