Signs can be made on large plain posterboard with a contrasting marker. It s also a good idea to laminate them in case you have bad weather. When using signs, make sure you display the sign before the crowd is supposed to yell with you. Flashing the sign at the moment the word is to be said confuses the crowd. Sign people need to synch their moves, and step forward or raise the sign when the crowd needs to yell.
Scrolls are another good way to use stunting and crowd involvement.
To make a scroll, buy two wooden dowels about a foot long and attach them to a strip of cloth. Cut out the letters in a cloth that s a contrasting color and glue them to the strip. Simply roll the bottom up and tuck into the back of your skirt or shorts when stunting. Before the word is to be said, hold the scroll in front of you and drop the bottom dowel. Boxes are fun to incorporate into cheers that have a multi-level pyramid.
