Abstract: A cheering support device for sound generation in association with sporting events, the cheering support device includes a semi-rigid planar member having a primary length dimension and a primary width dimension defining a body with an outer perimeter, the primary length dimension being longer than the primary width dimension. The planar member includes a base for gripping and agitation thereof by a user; a distal end, disposed oppositely from the base for movement though an arc resulting from agitation of the base; and a sound generation portion audibly responsive to the agitation and a method for using the cheering support device.
