Bananas

  • A verbal group game for any number of players. Also known as sausages, boloney, or knickers.
  • With bananas, a smile on the face is guaranteed even when you lose.
  • The object is to avoid laughing when answering questions with a ridiculous word, such as “bananas”. 
  • One or more players are chosen to ask other players random questions in turn. Whatever the question, it must be answered by the chosen word(s), e.g. “bananas”.
  • Whoever laughs before, while or immediately after giving the correct response loses a life or is out of the game – depending on the rules determined by the group.
  • The chosen answer can be a single word, a phrase or even a proper noun – up to you.
  • When the “answer” tends to lose its flavor, it is advisable to choose a new one. 
  • The game continues with the new questions, the last player standing is the winner.
  • And the prize is...?
