| Required: | large grey blanket 4 campers 1 cup of water |
| Preparation: | 2 campers bend over at waist, 2nd holding waist of first. Put blanket over them to create an elephant. 2nd camper holds a cup of water in one hand at the waist of the first. |
| Script: | Remember, the elephant's name is 'NUTS' - that is important. It's also important to have a volunteer you are pretty sure can take a joke and getting wet. Trainer: Ladies and Gentlemen, have we got a treat for you today! Please welcome my new trained elephant, 'NUTS!'. "Come, Nuts!" - and the elephant walks onstage. "Stop, Nuts!" - and the elephant stops. Trainer: Folks, you will be amazed at the tricks NUTS can do. Watch this. "Sit, Nuts!" - the back end squats down. "Stand, Nuts!" - the back comes up. Trainer: NUTS is so well trained, he can walk over people. I will need a couple volunteers for this trick. I promise he will not step on you. (it may take some coaxing to get two volunteers) Have volunteers lay down on the floor beside each other with space between. Trainer: "Walk, Nuts!" From the back of the room, as NUTS is stepping over the volunteers, the last camper walks forward, shouting: "Pea-nuts! Pea-nuts! Get your Pea-nuts here!" (and, of course, the 2nd camper in the elephant lifts one leg and pours the cup of water.) |
