One How Yell:
Yell the word "HOW" loudly. Can be built up to more how's as needed.
According to the
Commissioner Dave How Scale –
Three How’s is a perfect score. I almost never give three how’s but very often
award two and a half how’s.
That is yelled – How, How, Ugh.

Make a fist with one hand, point the index finger, hold it close to the chest,
then with a circular motion, begin to slowly raise your arm, keeping the finger
extended until it is high over your head.
Arrow of Light:
Hold your hands out if front of
your left side. Make an arc by moving your hand over your head to your right
side while saying, “Whoosh.”
Bow and Arrow:
Make a motion as if shooting an arrow and say, “Zing, zing, zing.” Pretend to
release an arrow with each zing.

Have everyone pretend to paddle a
canoe leisurely.
Then yell, “We are being attacked.
Now everyone paddles extremely fast.
Drum:

“Tat-a-tat-tat” 3 or 4 times, then beat on our stomach, saying, “Boom-boom.”
Echo:
