FRUIT--GAME
THIS IS A VARIATION OF 'TAG' OR 'CATCH.' EACH PLAYER
PICKS THE NAME OF THE FRUIT HE WANTS. THEN THE
PERSON WHO IS 'IT' RUNS TO TAG SOMEONE. IF THE ONE
BEING CHASED CALLS THE NAME OF A FRUIT CHOSEN BY SOME
OTHER PLAYERS, THE PERSON WHO IS 'IT' THEN HAS TO
CHASE THAT NEW PERSON. FOR OBVIOUS REASONS THERE IS NO
GOAL.
