Leader starts quietly starting with GRRR and goes around circle to complete word.
Ziggy, ziggy, hoy, hoy, hoy
Ziggy, ziggy, hoy, hoy, hoy
Take up watermelon in both hands, chomp up one way and spit out seeds, in a Bronx cheer. (For those of you who are purists, the proper terminology is a 'bi-labial fricative'.) Note: this cheer could be considered 'poor taste'.
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, 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 labouriously. 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 dolled: Slap-skip-slap-slap-skip-slap-balloons!
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' every time the ball hits the floor when dropped initially from an outstretched hand above the head, or thrown up.
Be Prepared, Be Prepared,
Shout it out, Shout it out.

The cheer leader says: "Alright ! Let's give that skit a
Big Hand."
Upon which, everybody silently holds one hand, palm open, up in
the air.
Boomalacka, Boomalacka,
Bow-wow-wow.
Chingalacka, Chingalacka,
Chow-chow-chow.
Boomalcacka, Chingalacka,
WOW ! WOW ! WOW !
The cheer leader says: "That deserves a Bravo ! We'll do
this in a circle."
He then proceeds to have one end of the circle start with the
'BRR' sound and proceeds to point around the circle while they do
the 'AVOOOO' sound. The sound level should rise as more of the
circle comes in.
The cheer leader says: "That deserves a real cheer. Give
me a 'B'
(and the group responds with a resounding 'B'),
give me an 'R', etc. When all letters have been called,
"What have you got ?" (response to all: BRAVO !)
Bonzo
Buffalo bonzo
Buffalo buffalo bonzo
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo !
Cheer leader: "I think we had better bury that skit.
Alright, everybody stand up and dig a big hole with your shovel
(suitable grunting sounds and shovelling actions),
now throw the skit into the hole (thump)
and cover it up (more shovelling and grunting),
now, jump on it to keep it in there. (Everybody jumps up and down
three times.)
The cheer leader says: "O.K., do you know the sound a
clam makes ? Alright then, put your hands together at the wrist
and hold them away up in the air like this (demonstrates).
Now, move your hands together like a clam shell. (Everybody moves
curved hands open and closed five times.)
Thank you.
One half of circle: Place the palm of your hand in front of your mouth and keep it moving in a circular motion while hissing.
Second half of circle: Starting a couple of seconds after the first half, the rest of the circle whistles down the scale. (Doh, Te, La, So, Fah, Me, Ray, Doh.)
When the whistlers get to the botom of the scale, everybody
responds with a well rounded Boom !.
Repeat all and Boom twice, repeat all and Boom three times.
Cheer Leader: Give me an OFER !

Cheer Leader: Good Heavens ! What next ??
