You need:
2 campers: both play kids.
3 Counselors: one is the director, two are the mom and dad.
another 3 campers: 2 are the house, one is the fire.
And another counselor, or 2 to be the fire house.
and a bucket of water.
ok.
So the basic skit goes like this;
Director introduces the skit and says that he's filming a new movie...and action!
Kids: mama mama! the house is on fire!
mom: the house is on fire!
kids: the house is on fire!
Mom: ok, I'll go tell your father! (goes up to the dad) Dan (His name) Dan! The house is on fire!
Dad: The house is on fire?
Mom: The house is on fire!
Dad: I'll call the fire dept. (pretends to call) Hi! my house is on fire. ok, you'll be right over? great! thanks!
Fire man comes and he pours water on the three campers being the house and the fire.
So, what makes this skit funny is the number of times you do it. (after 5 is too much though.) The Director needs to be good on his or her feet, and has to come up with new themes. and he/she should yell CUT! and then say something along the lines of "I'm not feeling this, lets try to do it with a ------Theme.
Some funny themes are: aliens, pirates, english (british accent), red neck, gangsta, western...The actors have to speak within the theme.
So like red neck the kids could say mama mama the trailer's on fire!
GOOD LUCK, and have fun...at my camp we can never get throughit without laughing!
