Name of the Game: Fruit salad Stage: S3

Explanation
Students are to get into pairs.
All pairs should stand in lines facing each other and sit down with legs out straight and feet touching each other, with about a metre’s gap
between pairs. Each pairs pick a name of a fruit.
When the teacher calls out the pair’s fruit, that pair is to race each other by running over all the pair’s legs toward the front, around the
outside, and back to their spot.
The side that the winner gets to first gets a point, so the pairs are in fact on different teams.
