Now came a chance to show off a bit. The young clowns all sat in a circle and each one took a turn at clowning.
Each clown performed his funniest stunt while the youngsters applauded vigorously.
The boy and girl clown who won first place as funniest became the twirler in the old game of Statue. The boy twirler grabbed the right hand of each boy and swung him around three times. The clowns held the positions in which they landed. The twirler looked them over and picked the most interesting one to be the next twirler. The girl clown twirled all the girls and judged her group.
To have a quiet game before lunch the clowns seated themselves in a circle for a game of Circus. The first clown started the game by saying, I went to the circus to see an anteater. The next in line repeats, I went to the circus to see an anteater, and adds an animal beginning with the letter b as bear. The third in line might say, I went to the circus and saw an anteater, a bear, and a clown. One who fails to think of an object beginning with the next letter of the alphabet goes to the center of the circle.
By the time only a few were left competing, lunch was ready. Jack and Jill led their guests to the dining room for refreshments. For place cards balloons were used. A balloon bearing the name of a guest was tied to the back of each chair. Shouts of laughter greeted this new idea while the guests scrambled for their seats.
The traditional ice cream became jolly clowns a scoop of ice cream on a pineapple slice with bits of maraschino cherries for roguish eyes and mouth, and a whole cherry for a bulbous nose. Cone-shaped paper drinking cups with a red tassel on top perched on top of the clown face, added the last touch to the clownish appearance. Little frosted squares of white cake were dotted with tiny red candies.
The party guests were tired but happy. They gathered up their puppets to take home as favors. They were sure nothing could be more fun than such a jolly clown party.November 13, 2009
