Instructions


1. First, create a pattern in the circle by pointing at someone and saying "you." The pattern then bounces from person to person until it gets back to the person who started it. You can monitor this by having everyone raise his or her right hand in the air, and bring it down only when pointing at the next person in the pattern. Spend time mastering this pattern.
 

2. Next, create a completely new pattern, starting with the same person who started the "you" pattern, passing the name of a fruit or vegetable from person to person. For example, a player would point to a person other than the person they pointed at in the "you" pattern, and say "apple!" Again, they must create the pattern with the last person passing it back to the first, and no fruit or vegetable may be used more than once. This time, monitor the pattern just as before, but with the left hand in the air.
 

3. Now try both patterns at once and see if they both make it back to the person who started it.
 

4. The advanced version: movement within the "fruit/vegetable pattern."

The "you" pattern remains unchanged and must be passed as normal. However, during the "fruit/vegetable" pattern, participants must move to where the person they are pointing at is standing.

When everything is said and done, if they are successful, they will have executed both patterns in the group and back to the person who started them, while moving one spot in the "fruit/vegetable" pattern.
