Scouting: Skits p3
Candy Store: (variation): A candy store owner enters carrying a long
pole. He asks two members of the audience to hold the pole, draping a
blanket or sheet over it, explaining that this is the candy store. One
by one customers come in asking for different types of candy, to each,
the owner replies that he doesn't have any. Finally, a customer asks
what he does have. The owner states he doesn't have any candy left
except for these two suckers on a stick, pulling the blanket away at the
same time.
Change Underwear: Have the boys march in, single file, with one boy
leading them like a drill sergeant. The sergeant tells them to stop and
addresses them. He tells them he has some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that they get a change of underwear. The boys cheer and
he cuts them off. The bad news is that they have to change underwear
with one another. The boys groan.
Chief Shortcake: Pick a "volunteer" to be the dead Chief Shortcake
(adult leader) and have him lie down covering with a towel/sheet except
for his head.
Have each boy repeat a line on what to do with Chief Shortcake such as:
burying the Chief with all his worldly possessions, should be burned in
a great ceremonial fire, put in a cave and seal him up, and so on for as
many as you need. The last Indian says that they are all wrong, "i bury
Shortcake" and squirts whipped cream on Chief Shortcake's face.
Chin Faces: Performers arrange themselves with their heads hanging
upside down over the edge of a table with a sheet or other drape
covering their body with holes cut out exposing their mouth and chin.
Place sunglasses just below the chin in front of the neck for "eyes."
The chin becomes the nose, the mouth is the mouth - but upside down, so
to smile you need to actually frown. The "chin face" makes a short silly
speech or sings a harmonious song. Several "chin faces" in a row can
form a singing group or mime a recording. Variation: Have the "chin
face" be a chicken instead of a person.
