Teach Your Kids the Fruit Game from the Native American Culture

Video Transcript

"In this clip we're going to show you one of several games you can play at an Indians kid party. This game has a basic concept of Hot Potato, but you're going to want to use fruits or vegetables. You're going to want to get varying different sizes if you have different aged children so they, actually, can handle the fruit. This is a great game to start with because it gets everyone working together. What you do is you start the music and you have the children pass the fruit. They start with passing with their hands. When the music stops, whoever is holding the fruit is out. If you want to keep the children from crying or being upset, you can let the person that is out, being the person who actually works the record player or the CD player. After they have done it once with their hands, you can change it up. You can make them face backwards and pass it around their backs, or you can have them use their elbows to pass it. They can use their chins to pass it also. If the little ones drop it with their hands, they can pick it up. You can go between the legs, around their back, and other creative way you can think of."
