Default Ants go marching

I've been toying with the idea of using the song "Ants Go Marching 1 by 1" as skit for audience partipations.

Getting the 9 kids, let flower be 10, and have them act out the action of the song as we gather them on the stage. Ie ,the Ants go marching one by one,hooray, hooray, the little one stops to suck his thumb, and they all go marching down to ground to get of the rain, boom, boom boom, etc.

What do ya think?........................

A wearable balloon frame with extra arms would be easy to make as well. Mix in a matching ant antenna hat and you've got your ants.

I think it's a great idea SaphireSue. The kids will love the interaction.

My son loves that song!

I like Luki's idea about sewing some sort of ant-arm costume. It would be too cute!

thanks for all the suggestions,

Perhaps getting the headbands with the antennas,

Balloons sounds great but I'd take to long to fit 10 kids for a show. It needs to be something I can quickly get on and off if they do some kind of costume.
