Banana Chomp Relay: Eat

An active team-building icebreaker game for junior youth


How To Play Banana Chomp Relay: Eat

Materials Needed

One Banana per player. Black permanent marker

Using the Bananas with the kids' names on them, pile all the bananas in a heap at the front of the room. Using the same teams line them up at the back of the room. Give each team member a number. We had numbers 1-5 on each team.

The leader needs to yell a number, and the kids with that number from each group run up, find their banana, run back to the group, and eat it. The team that finishes eating all their bananas first, wins.

Our kids loved this one!

Well yes, each team could have a number (ie. if there are three teams - Team 1, Team 2, Team 3) but in each team each player would also have a number (ie. Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, Player 4, Player 5). You are correct about the team's gaining points.

I get it now. Thanks Shorty. It means that each team has a number, and the team slowly accumulates points yeah?

David - I think it means that there could be 5 players on each team, and each player in that team would get a number (ie. 1,2,3,4,5). So when a number is called (ie. 3) all the players with the number 3 in each team would get up and run to find the banana with their name written on it. Whoever finished the banana first would get a point for their team.

I don't get it. You said someone will yell a number from 1 - 5, and the kids with that number will rush to get the banana and finish it. Team wins when banana is finished. ///// Isn't the number the team? Someone pls clarify me.
