Hand Hug
Here’s a new
handshake that Christy Wheeler from Norman, OK, taught me last week when I was
in Oklahoma City. You put right
palms together with your partner and then wrap your thumbs around the side of
your partner’s hand as you say, “Ahhhh!”
O U Did a Good
Job!
This is a new
cheer that you can do in any state.
Oh - Circle hands above head to make the
letter O.
You – Put hands in
air to make the letter U.
Did a good job! –
Clap your hands on each word.
Oh – Circle hands
above your head.
S – Turn sideways
and curve one arm and one leg to make the letter S.
You – Put hands in
the air to make the letter U.
Did – Fists in the
air as if cheering.
Todally Awesome
Cheer
Squat down like a

in the air and say, “Awesome!”
Golf Tee
Writing
This is a great

pancake and then write on it with a golf tee.
