How to play
Mark out a field with an end zone at each end and divide into two teams. The banana can be thrown however you like, but whoever catches it must stop and throw from where they stand. A dropped banana turns possession over. Catching it in your end zone scores a point and most points wins. When the banana gives up, swap in a new one or play on with the biggest piece, which is usually the funnier option.
