Applause
York Adams Council
Lumberjack Applause: Swing ax as if chopping down a big tree and say "Chop, chop, chop." Then stop, stand back raising hand to mouth to form megaphone, and shout "Timmm-berrrr!"
Paul Bunyan Applause: Make motions as if sawing down a tree. Meanwhile alternately blowing out and sucking in air with a "Shhh" sound. After a few of these you have cut though the tree. Stand back, and with your hand alongside your mouth, yell "Timberrrrr!"
Rainstorm Applause: Start by gently patting hands on knees alternately to simulate rain falling. Increase the noise by switching to hand clapping as the storm reaches its height. With a hand signal, everyone shouts "Boom!" to represent thunder. Gradually decrease the hand clapping back to patting the knees as the storm subsides.
Big Rain Applause: Tap fingers together very quickly.
