Clown Games
Clown Relay
Players race silly-nilly to outfit themselves in the latest in clown fashion.
WHAT YOU NEED:
2 sets of clownwear
HOW TO PLAY:
1. At the finish line, place two similar clown costumes that include giant shorts, suspenders, a jacket, a hat and the biggest pairs of men's shoes you can find.
2. Divide players into two relay teams positioned at the starting line.
3. At the sound of the whistle, the first person from each team runs and puts on the gear (over his clothes), runs back, strips, and tags the next player, who puts on the outfit and runs and touches the finish line and so on. The team to complete the relay first is victorious.

Clown Straight Face
For this contest, you'll need one daring comic and several glum-faced challengers.
WHAT YOU NEED:
Nothing
HOW TO PLAY:
1. The comic's mission is to tell jokes, make funny faces or employ any other reasonable tactic (short of tickling) to bring on a laugh.
2. The first one in the crowd to crack a smile becomes the next clown.

Main Types of Clowns
The most famous white faced clown in recent history was Bozo the clown. This classic (or white face) clown is probably the clown that most likely comes to mind when people think of a clown.

- that is an unusual but beautiful Clowning Around Girl Scout award, congratulations and thanks for sharing the design. I also make old men scout awards, but they are a little different, for instance, I have just made a Sildenafil Citrate old men scout award!

- Learning to make balloon animals, juggle, and ride a unicycle are excellent things for a kid to learn. Plus it gives them something to fall back on if times are ever tough in life. I've done my share of balloon animals at parties for $25 myself.
