Pinky,
Don't worry. The kids will love you if you do nothing but play peek a boo or duck, duck, goose. If the only balloon you know how to make is a dog. If they ask for something else, tell them you haven't learned another animal in school yet, or that everything you make looks like a dog. Remember this: Comedians do funny thing things. Clowns do things funny. Take the kids over and introduce them to your pet fire hydrant. tell them he's the strong silent type. If they say thats a fire hydrant, say "shhhh, he really sensitive about that." Little gags will come to your mind while you are there. Run with them. if they fall flat, figure out why, if they a great, then use them again! Give out stickers, or go get a 400 piece back of tootsie roll mini's and give them to people or kids. play hopscotch in the parking lot. swing on the swing set. Try to get a bunch of kids to push, or try a teeter totter. and put half a dozen kids on the other end.
Do the ordinary in an unusual way. And have fun!
Also remember. "God has not given us a spirit of fear. But of power, and LOVE and a sound mind."

... and for a clown, two outta three ain't bad...

Cheers, Scruffy
