I'm not going to search for anything else. I know what hsmom means. I'm not familiar with some of these songs, because my siblings rarely listen to this stuff. Mostly whatever is on is what the older ones are listening to.

I can't juggle so I have noooo idea what would be good juggling music. Sorry. :( My kids listen to whatever I do, but they're happy with ANYTHING. Seriously, one of their favorite tunes is the McDonald's "I'm lovin' it" jingle.

:sweat: Who would think that jingles would come up in two separate threads?

Thank you Maria for that very extensive list. I will check out some of those songs. I really do appreciate it.

I work in the library and I had to write the call numbers and barcode numbers in all of the books and I came across one Called THE AESTHETIC DIMENSIONS OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION and it had a picture of a clown on the front and it made me think of this thread.

So, I have everything pretty much worked out. I will be doing a "dress rehearsal" for my cousin's kindergarten class this Friday and will be doing the same show this Sunday for our Fall Festival. I was really worried about this because it has been a while since I have done any clowning until I spoke with the woman that founded the clown school I went to. She gave me some great advice, which will sound very simple but was something I needed to hear. She said make sure you have fun and you play...I guess that does sum up the mentality of a clown, the time when we let that little child inside of us all come out to play for a little while. I was definitely put more at ease after she said that.

Anyway, keep me in your prayers this Friday and Sunday, that the kids are entertained and I be the clown (the fool) God wants me to be :)

God Bless

Kids loved it, I was not too happy with how things went. I put my cousin in charge of music and she kept leaning on the remote, messing up the timing, and making me think she was rushing me. I forgot the treasure map (doh) and I think they got a little bored after a while. Definitely a great learning experience and giving me some things I need to keep in mind and fine tune for this Sunday. Also, a lot of children started crying...not good.

God Bless

Crying? Were they really tired?

No, apparently the teachers knew that some feared clowns but they did not know who, so the parents figured just to let me go out there and find out by trial and error :)
