Description:
This is a fast paced, mind stimulating game (30-100+ people)

Time:
15-20 min

Material:
-Chairs for every player minus one

Objective:
To not be the one in the middle

How to play:
Get the group to sit in chairs in a circle with one person in the middle without a chair. The leader picks the appropriate number of animals that get killed by cars. For example, if you have 30 people you want about 4-5 animals, however if you have 100 people you want about 7-8 animals. Then the leader goes around the circle and gives each player an animal. (Keep the same order every time: gopher, squirrel, skunk, cat, deer, crow, gopher, squirrel, skunk, and so on). To begin the game, the leader calls out one animal, everyone that is that animal needs to get up and run to a different seat. The person in the middle is trying to get into one of the open seats. If the leader calls ROAD KILL, every one needs to get up and change seats.

Variation:
This variation is called Upset the Fruit Basket. You choose fruits or vegetables and yell UPSET THE FRUIT BASKET for everyone to change seats. It is good to use this for the younger campers 7-12 years old and to use Road Kill for the 12-17 year olds.

Rules:
-You can not move to a seat beside you, there must be 2 seats between the seat you are in and the seat you are going to
-Only go when your animal is called
-Try to keep contact to a minimum, this game can get pretty rough very fast.
-You can also have the player in the middle call the animal or fruit.
