In this clip, we going to show you a game that's a lot of fun. It's called "Harvesting the fruit, harvesting the vegetables". In the Indian culture, they had to provide for themselves. Of course we can go to the grocery store but they can't. So in this game, we make them harvest fruit and vegetables. You break the kids up into teams, you put all the vegetables at the beginning, and a basket at the end. The children have to race to get the fruit and the vegetables in the basket. Just to get the concept, they can do it with their hands once or twice. But what I suggest is make it really hard. You can hold the fruit and vegetables in your elbows and run all the way down and drop it in the basket and then picking it back up with their elbows coming back. If you want to make the race last longer, you can have them put it under their chin. Once they put it under their chin, you may want to allow them to pick it up with their hands out of the basket. Which is very difficult to get it back under your chin.
Which tribe had bananas? This video is a insult!! The costumes the girls are wearing make them look like sluts. Indian women NEVER dressed like that.
