Echos in the Woods Skit
Required:
2 scouts
1 leader
1 leader
Preparation:
One scout needs to hide outside the door to the room or in the dark away from the campfire.
Script:
Leader: I was reading on the Internet the other day that many [wooded areas or rooms] like this one may have strange ECHOing capabilities. If you shout in just the right direction, the sounds can bounce around off the [trees/hills/walls] and come back. I've asked Bobby here to give me a hand in an experiment.
Leader: Bobby, could you please shout something out in that direction (points away from where other scout is hiding).
Bobby: (yells in that direction) "HELLO!"
Leader: Hmmm, not that way. Let's try this direction. (points towards where scout is hidden).
Bobby: HELLO!
Echo: HELLO! Hello! hello
Leader: Wow! It works! Hey, Bobby, yell something else out there.
Bobby: BALONEY!
Leader: Hey! That's not very nice. We don't use such language here, Bobby. Try saying something nicer, please.
Bobby: Ok, Ok, Sorry.
Bobby: [Leader's Name] is the best!
Echo: BALONEY! Baloney! baloney
