Why is the reaping called the reaping in the Hunger Games?

Answer 1

The reaping is an event that happens in the town square of each district, in which 2 tributes are chosen from the ages of 12-18 ~ one male, one female ~ to go and fight to the death in an outdoor arena. One thing about this that really angers Katniss is that the whole event is televised, so every person in every district can watch it. In the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss's little sister, Prim, is chosen as female tribute, but Katniss volunteers for her. The male tribute reaped is Peeta Mellark, the baker's son.

Answer 2

The Reaping is the day when everyone in all 12 districts gathers in the town square in their own district, and names are drawn, one boy and one girl ages 12-18, to see who will take part in the Hunger Games. The teenagers are thrown into an arena and ordered to kill each other. The last person standing is the winner, and they will train whoever is drawn from their District next year.

Answer 3

The day of the Reaping is when the tributes for The Hunger Games are chosen from each District. You dress in your finest clothes to celebrate if you were not chosen to participate in the Games.

Answer 4

Reaping in the Hunger Games is when each district has to select two members which are a certain number of ballets and the n put in the glass bowl and put in the Hunger Games to Fight for the Deaths!

If your....

12 - Your get 1 ballot

13 - Twice

14 - Three Times

15 - Four Times

16- Five Times

17- Six Times

18- Seven Time

And then you don't have to participate any more.

If you are poor and starving you can register for a tessera, and an extra ballot will be added to your name. In the novel, The Hunger Games Gale Hawthorne had 42 tessera at the age of 18 but it was he's last year. Katniss Everdeen had 28, I think.

Answer 5

"Reap" VERB

To collect or gather, (Usually for crops)

I'm guessing they called it the reaping because it is a gathering of two tributes to go into the Hunger Games.
