Stopped Watch
Greater St. Louis Area Council

#1: My watch stopped.
#2: What happened?
#1: I was putting on insect repellant when it stopped suddenly.

Rain clap

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.
