Cheers add fun to meetings and campfire programs. They are usually humorous and silly. Be prepared for groans and laughs!
Do you have a cheer, run-on, or audience participation story that you’d like to share? Contact me and I’ll share it here.
Audience Participation – The Story of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox
This a story about the cold winter when Paul Bunyan found Babe the Blue Ox. A few words and names are repeated throughout the story. Your audience will be divided into groups and assigned a word or name. Whenever they hear it, they must say something - loudly and with enthusiasm - and do an action. Cub Scouts usually enjoy these "action stories".
Run Ons: They’re All Over and All Around! I Can’t Get Away!
Run ons are the little brothers of skits. They are very brief intermission in a campfire program. Sometimes it is just a single interruption to the program, sometimes they are in series.
There Ain’t No Flies on Me
We have always done this as a cheer with two groups. The idea is to see which group can be the louder. This makes a fun activity for a Pack meeting or a campfire program.
Ice Applause and Snowball Applause
A quick silly applause adds some fun to a Pack meeting. These two applauses go with a Winter Wonderland theme but they also can just add some fun to any meeting or activity.
Audience Participation – Stick Out Your Tongue and Touch Your Nose
A few years back we had a Cubmaster who really enjoyed audience participation segments. The cornier the better! This is a classic along those lines. This would also work to help demonstrate the importance of clear communication when giving instructions.
