OCEAN APPLAUSE - Best done with a large group; have first row sway from side to side; second row swaying in opposite direction; third row same as first, etc. Then have them add sound effect: SWOOSH, SWOOSH, SWOOSH!!

RAINSTORM APPLAUSE - Start by gently patting knees alternately to simulate rain falling. Increase the noise by switching to hand clapping as the storm reaches its height. With a hand signal, have everyone shout “”BOOM” to represent thunder.  Gradually decrease the hand clapping and then pat the knees as the storm subsides.

Backyard Pool Cheer - Don't stand up for this cheer.  Lean back in your floating pool chair, take sip of your tall cool drink and say "Ahh, this is the life."
