You must have been to a camp for fun or a team-building activity. We love to yell when we are at the camp. Chanting, cheering and yelling is all thatmake the camp interesting and fun. While going to school or playing a game in school, we sometimes cheer our team, yell for them, and cheer them.
Have you ever thought why do we use chants or cheers? Mostly, we do this to increase the participation of the spectators, boost the morale of our team, and give all the possible motivation to the team so that they can win.
Sometimes it is used in a negative sense. It is also used to demoralize the opposing team. If chants and cheers are timed appropriately, they can drive back the opposite team and motivate the home team to achieve victory.
Let us understand the distinction between cheers, chants, songs, and yell.
Chant
A chant is usually two or four lines thatare repeated over and over again. It is a quick slogan that makes a point. These are very easy to make, and it focuses on either the defensive moves are the offensive moves. Examples of chants are –
- Knock them down.
- Mary had a little lamb, but the Eagles got the basketball jam.
The best time to use a chant is when you are on the sidelines during plays, take the ball back,make a goal, or during short timeouts, quick breaks, etc.
Cheers
Cheers are longer than the chants. These are used as fillers before the game starts or in halftime or the quarter breaks. The movements and the words used in the cheers are more complicated. An example of the cheers is-
- It’s time to fight. It’s time to yell.
- Boom, Dynamo, Ba baba
- Boom, Dynamo, hold up, wait a minute
- Let’s put some spirit into it!
There are some ready-made cheers. You can twist them to make them your own.
3. Songs
Songs are quite different from cheers and chants. The songs are created so that the crowd can also sing along. It is used to rev the crowd up. Examples of songs-
- We will Rock you
- We don’t know, but we have been told. The Eagles team is my keyboard might bold.
4. Yells
Yell mean to cry out loudly, shriek, or scream. It is a sort of rhythmic cheer. It is given in unison. Mostly, school students, college students, football team members, etc. use this type of cheering. Examples of Yell –
1. Let’s go! Let’s go! L-E-T-S-G-O (repeated three times)
2. 1,2,3,4 Who are you yelling for?
- H S, Oh yes!
- Louder now, let’s hear it for H S, The best!
