Players stand about in pairs. One Beaver is ‘It’
When the leaders calls, "Back to back!" the players must back up to a partner. When the leader calls "Face to Face!" these partners must face each other and shake hands.
On the next call "Back to back!" and each time here after, all players must change partners.
‘It’ tries to get a partner during the change.
The player left out becomes it.

Game: Banana
Equipment: A rag or sock or a real banana
Form a circle with all players sitting on the floor. It is important for the players to sit close together with their knees up and their hands tucked under their legs. The person in the middle has to figure out where the banana is as the people in the circle are passing the "banana" under their legs secretly.
