pom poms
Sideline spirit shakers
Pom poms are fluffy balls made of loose strands—paper, plastic, or fabric—gathered at a center point.
Cheerleaders shake them during routines.
Smaller versions appear as decorations on winter hats or craft projects.
Also spelled pom-poms or pompoms: She waved her pom poms at the football game.
