VI. Activities
In your house keeping area create a circus clown dressing room. Display a range of clown costumes including hats, shoes, and bags – don’t forget to have a mirror for the children to see themselves dressed up in their clown costumes!
Outdoors
Stretch a long piece of rope across the ground or grass and secure it at both ends (rope should stay on the ground; this is just for pretend ;-). Let children pretend to walk a tightrope by walking on the rope that is on the ground. Show children how to walk like a tightrope walker by placing one foot in front of the other along the rope. Encourage children to try to keep their balance and stay as much as possible on the rope.
At the Circus
Provide children with a range of items for re-creating the circus acts, such as stilts for stilt walking, a beam to balance on or to walk the tightrope, and balls for juggling. Outline a ‘Circus’ ring, indoors or outdoors, and have fun performing together, dancing, doing tricks, or clowning around.
