Human Fruit MAchine
 

Ok we did this on Saturday at a fete and raised £79.00, was 50p a go

i have heard of the idea before, but cant find it on here, but a member of my comittee thought this up last week, she has also seen it somehwere before but dosent know where!!

Human Fruit Machine

You will need:

3 Bags - we used the lovely hessian ones you can get in the shops nowadays
3 idential lots of fruit
4 adults - one to take money and 3 for the machine
prizes - we did skipping ropes and kits for matching 3, bagged raisons etc for matching 2, and a piece of cut fruit for none
a button to press or a leaver to pull - we used a large button night light thing

ok -
the 3 people hold the bags with the fruit in
child pushes the button
someone shout "go"
the 3 people pull a piece of fruit out of thier bag
see what matches and give prize

(hope this explains it ok, is better in to watch!)

you can "rig" the prizes by whispering but we found that the odds were good.

also, we found that if bananas were in the bags they went a little mushy so we wont use them again

This is a brilliant idea, it would also go down a treat at a kiddies party!! I love it! :thumbsup: :D

Have done this at school fayre using children to pull out the fruits from a box they have decorated.

I saw this years ago it was good fun...
