Smell, Touch, Taste

This is one where you get the crowd. Pick three kids and send them out of the room. Your last kid is a plant. Bring them in one at a time blindfold them and ask them to figure out what the three objects are (a dirty sock, an onion and a live mouse). They have the choice to “taste it, touch it, or smell it” to figure it out. Your first two kids will usually stay safe and say smell or touch, when you bring out the mouse show it well to the first kid, and then cup it in your hands with just the nose out for the second kid. The third kid is your wild kid, a plant on this skit. Get the crowd to start chanting “taste it” each time and he/she chooses taste it. They lick the sock, bite the onion, and then the third time when you reach in the box for the mouse have marshmallows with a fake blood capsule (any costume store) inside with a licorice tail. Cup the “fake mouse” in your hands and move quickly to shove it in his/her mouth. They chew it up, let a little blood drool down and when the crowd quiets, he/she says (as if it’s no big deal…) “a mouse?”
