Apple-Themed Games
Apple picking means apple games
Little to no skill required…but plenty of apple pride at stake.
Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Gala are only a few of those apple options out there. Just like we all have unique preferences when it comes to the type of fruit we choose, we recognize you likely have different wants and needs in your game styles. We’ve got you covered (in caramel, if you’re lucky). Check out these apple-themed games to add a crunch to your apple party.
Games
We've got ten different games for you to try out (but seriously, who knew you could play this many games with apples?) Mix and match, and click the titles below to jump to each game.
- Apple balance race
- Apple toss
- Apple scavenger hunt
- Musical apples
- Pass the apple race
- Worm in the apple
- Apple teeth relay
- Apple slingshot
- Caramel apple walk
- Build-an-apple
Apple balance race
Calling all star yogis. Actually for humor’s sake, calling those of you with little to-no-balance.
- Players balance an apple on the palm of their hand facing up. No fists closed and no fingers gripping.
- Get as quickly from point A to point B as possible—and you know that apple better make it bruise-free.
Apple toss
It’s like if the egg toss and basketball bred an apple tree.
- Players are given three apples each and stand behind a line.
- Set a bucket a few feet from the line.
- Players toss their apples one at a time, aiming to get the apple in the bucket. The player with the most apples in the bucket wins.
Apple scavenger hunt
Your traditional Easter egg hunt, er apple hunt.
- Before guests arrive, tie a string with a tag to each apple’s stems to label apples with their variety (Gala, Fuji, Cripps Pink, Red Delicious).
- Hide apples around the space.
- Give teams a list of the apple varieties they should search for.
- The first team to find an apple to fit each variety category wins.
Musical apples
Think musical chairs, and replace chairs with buckets or sacks of apples.
- Circle buckets up, with one bucket less than the number of players.
- \As music plays, all players dance and walk around the circle.
- When music stops, players hustle to sit on a bucket. The player who ends up without a bucket is out.
- Remove one bucket each round, and go race around those apples!
Pass the apple race
Remember the wet sponge passing drill you may have played in elementary school Field Day, anyone? Here’s how it goes down.
- Two teams line up side by side.
- Each team gets a barrel full of apples placed at the front of their line and an empty barrel at the end.
- Player A takes an apple from the barrel and said apple gets passed to every player in the line until dropped in the empty barrel by the last player (Player Z).
- Player Z runs to front of the line, picks an apple, passes it down, and so forth.
- The first team to move all apples to the second barrel wins.
Worm in the apple
Prep: Find a large box (holla, Amazon!) and open it on 2 sides. Draw a big apple on 4 other sides.
- To play the game, turn up the music.
- While music plays, players crawl through the box, 1-2 at a time…unless you have a killer TV box and can squeeze multiple players in at the same time. Those are the worms we want.
- When music stops, whichever player aka worm is in the box at that moment is out.
- Carry on playing until one player remains.
Apple teeth relay
Don’t tell your orthodontist about this one.
- Divide players into two teams.
- Place apples on a table - one for every player.
- Relay style, one teammate from each team is released to run to the table, pick up an apple—you guessed it—in their mouth, and run back to their team.
- Next player is released to run, so on and so forth.
- First team to get all apples from the table back to their team, sans hands, wins.
