Work Ideas

Here is a camp skit idea I had...in the middle of the night....

Hula Skit
Supplies: Hula Table Skirt

Cast: MC, and three to eight people to be Hula Dancer

Much like Dr. Know-It-All, the people in this skit work together as one.
The dancing team stands shoulder to shoulder each one of them holding the table skirt as though they were one person.

MC introduces the hula dancers and explains that traditional Hawaiian hula dances always tell a story. Each movement represents part of the story.

Get from the audience a title of a story, the title should be one that the camper made up rather than the title of an already existing story.  Starting at one end the dancers tell a story.  The first one says the first sentence and does a dancing motion to go along with it. (For instance, if there is a storm they might wave their arms like a tree blowing in the wind.)  The rest of the dancers also do this move. 

The next person says the next sentence of the story and creates a new motion.  The rest of the dancers follow.

So on, and so forth until the story is finished. 

Depending on the length of this story, you could do a second or third one.

Be sure to not let the campers get tired of it be doing it too many times.  Stop it just as they have reached the peak of fun.
