Instructions

Introduction
To remind the Brownies that as Brownies they are part of a worldwide group of girls.

Ask the Brownies do they know what WAGGGS stands for? Do they know that there are four permanent World Centres in Mexico, UK, India and Switzerland? What are the centres called? Show them the pictures of these four World Centres.

Instructions
Explain that they are going to play a game that is played by Brownies in India (see if they can remember what the World Centre in India is called).

Fruit Basket (A Sangam game)
The Brownies sit on chairs in a circle. Each Brownie is a fruit*. There should be several of the same fruits, for example three of each one. One Brownie is in the middle. That Brownie yells the name of a fruit such as "banana" and all the Brownies who are bananas must stand up and run to sit in the chair of another banana. The Brownie in the middle also runs for a chair. The Brownie who does not get a chair stands in the middle and calls out the next fruit. Sometimes, the Brownie should call "fruit basket" and everyone runs for a new chair.

*It’s fun to use fruits that are common in India such as papaya, banana, pomegranate, sweet lime (mosambi), orange, pineapple, coconut.
