Camping Out Ideas
On Stage Games for Audience, funny camp ones....?
sorry all i didnt know how to pose i question but i need some games, ok so i have camp soon and me and my friends are going on the stage for a bit and we want to do something funny that involves the audience.... Ok as an example (although i cant use this one) one person gets another person to copy exactly what the first person does after a while somebody puts a waterbomb on the chair of the person who is copying and the person who they are copying sits on his chair so the person who is copying sits on the waterbomb....) <--- i hope that made sense anyways thanx!!

- You can have audience members join you for improv. A good comedy routine I saw involved getting the entire audience to pretend they were galley slaves and "row the boat" while you up on stage "beat the drum" like in the movie Ben Hur. Divide the audience into sections and have them cheer for something, competing with each other to see who can be loudest.
- "The Ugliest Man in the World" This skit is so much fun and you get to play a harmless prank on someone. You will need an announcer, several "volunteers", the ugliest man (or woman), and an unsuspecting victim. Preset the ugliest man (henceforth known as UM) on the stage with their back to the audience and a large blanket over their head. It should cover most, if not all of their entire body. The "volunteers" will be planted in the audience. The announcer enters and, as though they were the ringmaster in a three ring circus, starts. Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen. Today we have a special treat for you: The Ugliest Man in the World! Few have dared to look upon his face as he is so ugly that he has scared some people to death. Now, I will open it up to the audience. Does anyone dare to come up here and look at the ugliest man in the world? Announce chooses Volunteer #1 to come up. Volunteer stands in front of UM and lifts up the blanket revealing his face ONLY to the Volunteer (remember, UM's back is too the audience). Volunteer screams and faints. Announce: Too bad. Unfortunately that happens sometimes. Would anyone else like to volunteer? Announcer chooses Volunteer #2. Same thing happens. You continue until all of your "Volunteers" have been picked. If you have a lot of people do two at a time. It shouldn't be more than three or four times or the audience will get restless. One variation: A younger volunteer comes up and is about to lift the sheet. Instead she/he drops it and exclaims "I can't look!" then runs out of the room screaming, "MOMMY!!!!" Finally, once all of the volunteers are laying in a pile at the feet of the UM the announce will ask again for a volunteer. This time they will pick the unsuspecting victim. This should be someone who can take a joke, probably a staff person that everyone in camp knows. The announcer will have to coaks them up onto the stage because they usually are very apprehensive as to what is going on. When they get up there they will go to pick up the blanket to look at the UM, just like everyone else did. Only this time, when the UM sees the unsuspecting victim's face the UM screams and faints! The unsuspecting victim was so ugly that even the ugliest man in the world faints when looking at him!
