Wearing
your Mascot Costume
To
help you get the best from your Mascot Costume please
have a look at the following quick tips to help
bring your character to life!
1).
Always have a chaperone with you when wearing the mascot.
Your
vision is restricted so it is easier to trip,
bump or fall over.
2).
Agree hand signals with your chaperone in advance.
e.g.
getting tired, thirsty, too hot, need toilet etc.
3).
Don't speak in your Mascot, unless it's for a rehearsed
speaking part.
4).
Do NOT remove any part of the costume in Public
Especially
the head, it's a huge disappointment for children &
adults alike
5).
Don't disclose who is wearing the costume
Pretend
the character is real, everyone will enjoy it more
6).
Lift your legs up when you walk - don't drag your feet
7).
Stand tall in the costume, try not to slouch or
it makes you look sad
8).
Make slower and more exaggerated movements than normal
9).
Smile and be happy inside the costume, it will show
on the outside
10).
Avoid swimming pools or deep water (incase you
get pushed in).
11).
Don't
move too fast around small children
It
can sometimes scare them if you make sudden or fast
movements
12).
Take a 5-minute break every 20 minutes
Remove
the head and have a regular break out of public view
13).
Store your mascot out of view of the public
