APPLAUSES & CHEERS
Alapaha Area Council
Hay Cheer
Divide the group into two sections. Tell one group they are to yell “HAY!” when you point to them
Tell the other group they are to yell “STRAW!”
Vary the speed at which you point to the different groups. Variation: Have the leader yell hay or straw and the group respond with the opposite word.
When I did this as a youth, when the leader said “STRAY” all was to be quiet. CD

LEFT SIDE: Shovel!
RIGHT SIDE: Sift!

STUNTS, JOKES & RIDDLES
Wind Proof Coin:
Heart of America Council
Push three pins into the middle of wood and lay a coin (quarter) on top of them.
Make a bet that nobody can blow the coin off the wood.
The metal cannot hold the gust of air on its narrow, smooth edges.
The gust shoots through under the coin and reduces the air pressure, forcing the coin more firmly on to the pins.
But if you lay your chin on the wood just in front of the coin and blow with your lower lip pushed forward, the air hits the underside of the coin directly and lifts it off.
