The Human Fruit Machine
For Fetes or Just Fun!
This game of chance is good on so many levels. It helps children with maths, such as probability, statistics & addition. As well as how to raise money at a fair for a good cause. It will also give them a sense of enterprise.
Children not only love playing this game, but also enjoy setting up & running the stall with friends. Give this pack & the instructions to the children to see if they can work it out for themselves. Anyone can run the stall, however the maths is for children junior school children & above.
This pack includes:
- 3 cotton, draw-string bags
- 9 pieces of wooden fruit or vegetables

- Instructions (6 pages of: instructions, tips for success, relevant maths exercises, answers/suggestions)

The rules
- You will need 3 people to run the stall; the human part of the human fruit machine.
- The 3 people sit side by side behind a table.
- Each person places one of the small wooden drawers in front of them on the table.
- Each person has a cotton bag with 3 pieces of fruit inside, one of each type.
- They sit with the bag on their lap with one hand inside it.
- When a player wants to play, they are asked to put a coin in the coin pot & ring the bell. This begins the game.
- When each person running the stool hears the bell they place their hand on one of the pieces of fruit inside their bag. Together they count to 3 aloud & on 3 place whatever fruit they have in their hand in the wooden box on the table.
- The combination of fruit is checked to determine if a prize has been won.
