Im in my high school improv comedy club. I'm not very good, but its fun. Every year we do a fundraiser... I'll explain it first because its kind of a long explanation, then I'll ask my question for everyone.

The fundraiser works by having us do a show and charging admission. If you've seen the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway," our show basically starts off by doing a bunch of games from Whose Line. For the 2nd half of the show, we split up into groups of 4, and each group has to do the following game. At the end, the audience votes on which team did the best job, and they get awarded a trophy.

The rules of the game are: each player is given a character, a quirk or action they have to do, and then everyone is given the scene they are acting out. So for example, last year I was Rafikki from the Lion King, and everytime someone said my name I had to stop what I was doing, stand one one foot and hop three times. Another kid was Dracula, and had to walk arm-in-arm with one other player at all times. Another guy was Scooby Doo who would have to do an Irish jig whenever someone patted him on the back.

Then, once everyone got their character, the team would be given the scene to act out. So the scene might be "the baseball team practicing before the big game" or "a double-date at a nice restaurant."

The twist here was this: the only prop in the scene was a very large cream pie. The shortest person on the team would randomly draw a name from a hat (they'd pick the name of someone on the team) and the scene would end when the shortest person on the team threw the pie into the face of whoever's name got picked out. It was made more fun (and kind of suspenseful!) because only that one person knew who would get pied - so you do the whole scene not knowing if it would be you or someone else who ends up getting pied.

I get that all probably sounds complicated, but trust me, it ends up being absolutely hilarious. We pack our entire auditorium to standing room only, between other students, parents and teachers, mainly because the pie in the face game is the hilight of the event.

So now this gets me to thinking... We're going to start doing an improv summer camp for middle school kids, probably a few 3-day camp sessions, and I'm going to be one of the lead counselors. Since it will be summer (and so probably hot outside) what if we switched this game up so instead of using a pie we instead used water. Maybe a bucket of water or water balloons? Or maybe we even do it by the pool and the person has to jump in the pool? Fully clothed of course. Do you think everyone would find that fun? Even if we don't do it as a fundraiser, maybe it could just be the grand finale for the camp or something like that.

Any ideas??
