Round and Round

Send out invitations to people you know, informing them you have rented out a yellow school bus for the purposes of taking a trip. The admission for the trip is, as follows: Before boarding the bus, each person is to speak one of their childhood dreams into a tin can whose top and bottom have been cut out. Once they do this, they will be allowed entry onto the bus. Phase two of admission will require them to speak that childhood dream into the ear of the person seated next to them, who will do the same in return. Then, as the bus driver pulls out, all the passengers will be prompted to sing The Wheels on the Bus, while thinking of the childhood dreams they shared.
