Join Host Karen Ferguson to discover fun, family-friendly alternatives to celebrating Halloween! 

Have you been disturbed by the growing darkness associated with Halloween festivities? Are you re-thinking your normal activities this year? Would you simply like to try something new? Then check out this week's 5-Minute Parenting episode for unique ways to make the day fun and special for your family, without compromising your convictions. 

The choice to celebrate Halloween can be rather controversial, and I am not here to convince you to not participate. That’s between you and God. But whether or not you're a fan of Halloween, you will be a fan of these fun, community building party ideas.

Fruit Basket Upset Game - How To Play:
Arrange your group in a circle with chairs (preferably without wheels or arm rests). Number the group 1 up to 7 depending on the size, you should have at least 3 people per number. Assign each number a fruit

Banana, Apple, Grape, Cherry, Orange, Watermelon, Lemon

Have one person stand in the center and remove their chair. The center person yells any fruit or combination of fruits. The people with that fruit(s) have to get up and switch seats. The person in the center tries to steal one of their seats. Players may not keep the same seat. The person in the center can also yell “Fruit Basket Upset."  At that point everyone gets up and switches seats.

How To Win:
Elimination – where each person left in the center is eliminated then a new person is selected for the center and their chair is removed until you have 1 team left.
Time – stop the game at a pre determined time (participants do not know when) The team (guys vs girls, old vs young) not in the center is the winner.
