Are there any safe science tricks for making a big entrance?

Holly McKay asked the Naked Scientists:
I'm the "mad scientist" at our elementary school and they've asked me to introduce our 1st grade program since their theme is SCIENCE. Do you have any recommendations to make a grand entrance/exit (e.g. make some mixture that would make a good "poof' or light up something in some big way, smoke effect)... something without any possible danger to the kids on stage with me. I would appreciate any creative ideas you can offer!!

Press the play triangle on the top left of the waveform panel to hear the sound...

Strobe lighting is attention-grabbing but there is a chance it could induce seizures ...

Could try (back lit)
dry ice
for a
visual
(and
sound
) effects, (Dry ice can
explode if in a sealed container
).
