Take up watermelon slice in both hands, chomp up one direction, and spit out seeds the other direction in a Bronx cheer.
In pantomime, the group following the yell leader, plant imaginary rockets in the ground, light a match on seat of their pants, and apply it to the rocket fuse. As the rocket rises with a WHOOSH!!, the group begins to whistle (softly at first and then louder) and after a short pause, all shout BANG!!
Imitating a flower growing, you rise up slowly, pausing part way. You look around, then quickly stand erect, yelling 'sprooooooong'.
You clap your hands while holding your arms straight and moving your hands around in a wide circular motion.
When you point to one half of the group, they yell, CHIP! When you point to the other half, they yell, CHOP! Then alternate CHIP! CHOP! CHIP! CHOP! faster and faster, ending with a loud "TIMBER!"
When you raise your right hand, everyone stomps feet rapidly. When you raise your left hand, everyone slaps thighs rapidly. When you raise both hands, everyone stomps and slaps.
Everyone starts by tapping their right thumbs on the palms of their left hands to represent the first few drops of rain. Then use two fingers, three fingers, four, five and the palms of hands. Increase volume of clapping from soft to loud. Then in reverse sequence back to thumbs on palms, as the rain passes.
You throw a handkerchief into the air. While the handkerchief is in the air, everyone applauds and cheers. They must stop the moment it touches the ground. Vary lengths of cheer with high throws, low throws and no throws.
Pretending to blow a big balloon, you put your hands to your mouth and puff laboriously. You spread your hands slowly apart at each puff, then fling your arms out, yelling 'BANG'.
Everyone makes a fist with their left hand and slaps the side of their fist with their right hand, as if trying to coax ketchup from a bottle. Six quick slaps and then the ketchup comes out in one big noised dollop: Slap-slap-slap-slap-slap-slap-sploooooosssssh!
Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z(Trace flight of mosquito with finger)Clap hands once for the swat saying 'GOTCHA'.
In this yell, the leader shouts ZIG-A-MALA three times, each time increasing the volume and each time the campers answer Z-E-E-E. After the third Z-E-E-E, the leader throws up his hands, and all shout together, WHA.
Using a golf ball (preferably) Have the group yell 'POW' everytime the ball hits the floor when dropped initially from anoutstretched hand above the head, or thrown up.
