Green and every other color of the rainbow will be seen on the floor of the SIU Arena this weekend when parents and kids alike will get the chance to be slimed, gaked and whipped creamed at the Nickelodeon’s Wild & Crazy Kids Live Tour Saturday.

The tour is just like the television show of the same name and will have some of the same messy stunts. Parents and children will be picked out of the audience to participate in the show.

Brian Stinson, host of the tour, said they always look for energetic kids to participate.

We pick kids with weird colored hair or who have on Nickelodeon shirts or that hold up signs that say pick me’, he said.

Some of the messy items used in the show include eggs, whipped cream, water balloons, green slime, and gak, which is Nickelodeon’s edible version of slime, that comes in a variety of flavors. Some of the more interesting flavors are booger, toe jam and ear wax.

Some of the shows stunts are pillow mania, where parents and kids wear an egg vest and they try to break the other team’s eggs. The team with the most eggs left unbroken wins.

Musical pies will also be featured. Parents and children sit in a row of chairs and pass along a pie until music stops playing. The one holding the pie when the music stops gets to smash it in their own face.

Stinson said musical pies is the messiest stunt on the show because the person who gets the pie gets a face full of whipped cream.

The big bus is another messy stunt. Six adults stick their faces out of bus window’s made of the audience members. The audience is broken up into three teams that paint the adults’ faces with green slime. They wash off the adults faces with water, and the team with the cleanest side of the bus after one minute wins.

Stinson said Nickelodeon trivia questions will be asked while the stage is being cleaned after each stunt. Prizes will be given away for each correctly answered question.

He said there is a grand champion team at the end of the show.

Their team captain will be slimed by a giant blimp that is full of green slime. It is the highest honor to be slimed by the blimp, he said.

Stinson said the show is fun for the whole family.

Kids love to see their parents get messy. he said. It is great to experience the show first hand, not just watch it on T.V.
