I got the animal noses last year and have been using them with the kids doing Old MacDonald. well today since it was a large groups I decided to get the adults to to it. I don't know who had more laughs the kids or the parents, two of the women were laughing so hard they could say their anmimal noise when it was their turn.. think I'm gonna do it this way again.

I add one pic. of me an the b-girl. I tried to follow the directions .

Sue,

I recently bought some animal noses and saw a clown demonstrate by doing what you did with the kids and adults. Like you said, everyone seems to laugh so hard they can't make their animal sound when its their turn. I hope to use it soon.

I have some but have not used them...I've love to know how you introduce your skit with them...Do you have an instrumental track that goes with...or do you all just go acappella? Does just the person wearing the nose do their animal sound...? The setup would really help alot...Thanks

I really think it works best if you can get the adults to do it, the kids just go nuts, I do this with out the music but have every one help me sing the song. It too long to contantly repete so we just do the one line ex.
Old MacDonald had a farm ei, ei o, and on this farm he had a duck, with a quack, quack here and a quack quack there, here a quack there a quack everywhere a quack quack ei ei o. [then I just go] and on this farm he had a .... and cont that way. I have seven noses, and the person with the nose has to make the noise, that's what so funny. I always save the elephant for last, its the hardest sound to make and by then people are laughing and the person usually needs help to make the sound and I get the audience to help. I have seen when it's a more adult crowd have the person with the Duck nose say aflack [sp insurance commercial], and the one with the frog nose say Budwiser [old commerical], but I haven't used it. To make a long post, Sallybangs lives on the Funny Farm down in Silly Hallow and we have many fine animals this is how I lead up to doing the song. [I also assure moms I disenffect the noses after every show.

I got mine from Steve Kissell, at the KCD. I can't remember his site, but if you'll go the the KentuckyClown Derby web site it has links to him.

Ok, his website is www.kisselltalks.com BUT there's no "store" on his website. So, what are we to do. I'd like to get some too. Hmm...anyone have some ideas???

He usually has a vending table at conferences and I bet if you email him, he'd help you out. But I went looking and www.clownantics.com has several differents sets, from farm set, zoo set, mine has 7 which include frog, duck, donkey, mouse, roster, dog, elephant. which is a little different from what they have, but hay get several set and mix and match or the zoo group would be a great circus theme.
