Guising "act" for 6year old

[MrsAmaretto]

Hi,
First year my son is going guising and we're struggling to come up with an "act"/ "turn" he can do at people's houses. I always did a poem when I was wee, boys seemed to just do a couple of jokes (which my mum always thought was a cop out). Plus he's only 6 and struggles to remember anything!

Any ideas? What are your children doing?

Jokes are fine for wee ones. My child of a similar age will be telling a few really corny ghost related jokes which he thinks are hilarious.

Jokes are good!

Phew! Thanks!

Nobody bothers with doing acts any more around here. They just stand at the door and say "Trick or treat". I feel like saying, "Go away with your American nonsense" and tell them that children used to do an act for their treat when I was young but they'd probably look at me like I'm some sort of old fossil - I'm not by the way.

A joke or a wee song would be fine.

Jokes are fine. It's still very much expected round here that guisers will do a turn

Last year dd went on the door for me! She made them all do a wee turn.

Last year my then 6 year old DS told a joke at each door which he thought was hilarious and it was easy to learn.

Knock knock
Who's there ?
Boo
Boo Who (hoo) ?
No need to cry it's only a joke

I always make anyone who comes to the door do their "piece" before getting any goodies.

A couple are surprised by it and usually end of saying a couple of lame jokes but the majority come prepared.

How about couple of simple jokes or maybe a wee nursery song for your ds?

Just stick with the jokes.
