SONGS, SPARKLERS, AND CHEERS/04-10


SONG: FOUND A PEANUT  


Tune: “Clementine”
1. Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.
2. It was rotten, it was rotten,
It was rotten just now.
Just now it was rotten,
It was rotten just now.
(Continue in a similar manner
with the following verses)
Ate it anyway….
I got sick…
Called the doctor…
Had surgery…
Died anyway…
Went to heaven…
Didn’t want me…

RUN ON FUN


1. Why did the turkey join the circus band?
2. What must you know before you can teach
a dog new tricks?
3. How do you get an elephant to follow you?
4. What side of a leopard has the most spots?
5. Why did the vampire attack the clown?
6. Why was Sunshine the clown staring at an
orange juice can?
7. Why can't clown noses be 12 inches long?
8. Why was Sparkle the clown holding a
mirror in front of her face with her eyes
closed?
9. Why did Silly Willy hold his ears when he
walked by the hen house?

I came back…
Found a peanut…
It was rotten…
Threw it away...

 

APPLAUSES/ CHEERS


ELEPHANT: Make the sound of trumpeting elephants with lips, then use arms
as trunk and sway them from side to side. Open and close fingers and say,
“I work for peanuts”
RINGMASTER: Leader says “And now, behind me in the center ring,
the Cubs.” All Cubs respond by yelling “YEOOOOOOOOOOOW.”
TRAINED CIRCUS FLEA: Have everyone raise his hands above his
head. Applaud by clicking the nails of the thumb and forefinger on each
hand.
TRAPEZE ARTISTS: Swing your arms up and down like you are on the bar waiting for
someone to swing to you. Open hands, you catch them successfully. Smile big, suddenly they
fall.. Scream, then smile. They landed in the net safely. “Good!”
