Just like Grab It (Click Here), except team members grab an orange instead of soap or marble in an ice bucket. (It can produce some “orange juice” if your youth group is as violent as mine!)

Divide into two teams. Put them into two lines parallel and next to one another (about 3 feet apart) sitting down and holding hands. At the back of the line put a bucket of water or ice with an orange in it between the two lines. If on carpet, put a layer of towels down – the water splashes and drips.
Stand at the head of the lines with a quarter in your hand. Instruct them that you are going to flip the quarter so only the first person in line can see the results. They are not to yell out how the quarter landed or even look back at their team. If the quarter lands on heads the persons in front are to squeeze their hands. The rest of the line is to squeeze their hands if their other hand is squeezed so that they can communicate to the last person in the line that the quarter is indeed heads not tails. If the last person in line has their hand squeezed then they are to try to grab the orange out of the bucket before the last person on the other team does. The person successful in retrieving the orange gets to go to the front of the line. The problem arrives however when the message is wrongly communicated to the person in back and they grab the orange only to find out that the quarter was actually tails. At that point the person in front must go to the back of the line. The first team to get their entire team forward in line (back person to front- not front to back), wins.
