Charades!
Directions
1. Choose a player to start the game. The player thinks of a book title, a famous
person's name, a saying, a movie title, or a song title to pantomime.
2. They should choose something with which the others will be familiar. If you like,
designate a category like sports or Disney.
3. The player then pantomimes the word or phrase he's chosen to the other players.
4. Here are some common clues used in charades:
○ To indicate a book, pretend to read a book.
○ To indicate a song, pretend to sing.
○ To indicate a movie, pretend to crank an old movie camera.
○ To indicate the number of words, hold up that many fingers. (Then hold up one
finger before pantomiming the first word, two fingers before the second, and so
on.)
○ To pantomime a word that rhymes with the word you want players to guess,
first tug on your ear to say "sounds like."
5. The first person to guess the word or phrase gets a point.
6. If you like, divide into teams before playing. Players from each team take turns
pantomiming for their teammates. The first team to guess the word or phrase gets a
point.
7. Keep track of the points earned by each player or team.
8. The one with the most points at the end of the game wins.

LION MASK
Component: Art
Time: 20-25 minutes
Goal: To make a lion’s mask to use in games and pretend play
Materials:
● Paper plate
● Brown, Yellow or Orange construction paper
● Large popsicle stick
● Glue and Scissors
Procedure:
1. Engage and Connect—5 minutes:
a. Ask the kids if they have ever been to a circus or seen one on TV. Do they know
what kinds of animals can be seen there?
2. Introduction and Set Up—5 minutes:
a. Explain to the kids they will be making a lion mask, an animal that is often
associated with the circus.
3. The Activity—15 minutes:
Cut rectangles out of construction paper. I make them about 4 inches long and an inch or
two wide..
You can decorate the rectangles with markers or sparkles to make the craft a bit more
complicated.
Cut the center out of the paper plate so the child's head becomes the center of the mask.
(Staff may need to help or can have older children helping younger children)
Roll one of the rectangles of construction paper around a pencil to make it curly.
Glue the curled rectangles all the way around the edge - we alternated making a pattern - patterning is a good exercise for young children).
Cut a couple of triangles for ears out of construction paper.
Glue on a popsicle stick or unsharpened pencil as a handle (you might want to add a bit of
tape to reinforce).
Now the child can peek through the lion mask!
Reflection: What other kinds of masks can they make? What can they use the mask for?

BEAN BAG TOSS GAMES
Setup:
1. Create a beanbag toss game by using a large sheet of foam board or cardboard or use bins
placed close together
2. Decorate the boards as desired and cut some circles out that are large enough for bean bags
to go through.
3. Support the board by propping something behind it. It could also be propped by taping a
hula-hoop to the back-side top and stretching it out at the bottom to stand the board game.
4. Purchase bean bags or make your own from fabric and dried beans.
FEEDING THE CLOWN
This is a great activity for kids of all ages! Purchase or make bean bags suitable for tossing and
draw a large picture of a clown on a piece of cardboard with its mouth wide open.
Draw and cut out the mouth so you have a hole large enough to toss the bean bags through.
Place the box about ten feet away (adjust distance for the age of your children) and give each
child a chance to toss the bean bags into the clowns mouth!
LION TAMER
Set up a hula hoop so it stands up securely. The player tries to throw a small stuffed lion or
tiger (or bean bag) through the hoop. Decorate the hoop with colored paper to look like flames.
FRISBEE OR BEAN BAG THROW
Throw a small Frisbee or bean bag at a large picture of a circus animal (lion, elephant, tiger,
dog, seal, etc.) on the ground. The closest is the winner.

A DAY IN THE LIFE
Component: Literacy
Time: 20 minutes
Goal: To have kids think creatively and critically about the jobs that are involved in a circus
Materials:
● Lined paper
● Pencils
● Markers
● White paper
Procedure:
1. Engage and Connect—5 minutes:
a. Ask the kids how many different kinds of performances and acts can they name
that they might see at a circus.
b. Write these down on a large sheet of paper for everyone to see.
2. Introduction and Set Up—x minutes:
a. Explain to the kids they will be thinking and writing about one of those jobs or
performances.
b. Handout paper and pencils and allow the children to think about what the person
performing that act might be thinking.
3. The Activity—10 minutes:
a. Encourage the children to write about what that performer might be seeing, the
audience? Are they flying through the air so everything is blurry? Are they directing
animals around?
b. Ask them what might that person be hearing? Applause? Gasps from the crowd?
Other performers around them?
c. This activity is to make the kids think about what it would be like to be in that
person’s shoes.
d. Brainstorm with the kids about what other kinds of things performers might be
feeling and experiencing!
Reflection: What other jobs could they put themselves into and write about? How can doing
this activity help them to see things from a different perspective?

FELT ELEPHANT
Component: STEM
Time: 25 minutes
Goal: To use felt, thread and a needle to make a tiny elephant companion!
Materials:
● Felt sheets (elephants can be any color for this project!)
● Grey string
● Needles
● Thread
● Print out of shapes
● Cotton balls for stuffing
Procedure:
1. Engage and Connect—5 minutes:
a. Ask the kids what kinds of animals have they seen at a circus before? If they have
never been to a circus, what kind have they seen in movies or in cartoons?
2. Introduction and Set Up—5 minutes:
a. Explain that they will be making an elephant! A
3. The Activity—15 minutes:
a. Using the printouts below, trace the shapes on a sheet of felt then cut them out and
begin sewing.
b. Sew on the ears, tusk and eye first. If you have patterned fabric, using those for
the ear can add a unique touch to this soft companion!
c. then sew around ⅔ of the elephant before stuffing and then sewing closed.
Reflection: What other felt animals could they make? What other things could they add to their
elephants? What can they use sewing for in their daily lives?

Paper Cup Knockdown
SOURCE: http://www.carnivalsavers.com/can_knock_carnival_game.html
Supplies for Can Knock Down Game:
●
●
●
Paper or Plastic Cups
Small table or tables (Round seem to work best!)
Sidewalk Chalk, Foot Traffic Cones or Hula Hoops to make lines or starting areas for
different age children to play the game
Homemade Can Knock Down:
This game is simple to do as a DIY carnival game! You will need empty vegetable cans
(sometimes it is fun to find oversized cans - double the size of typical veggie cans for effect). Or
paper cups can be used as a substitute.
Leave the bottom on each can as we recommend filling about half full with dried beans. Next,
tape over the top of each can with strong tape to keep the beans inside.
Finally, decorate the can to match your carnival theme. You can cover with colorful wrapping
paper or paint with bright colors as shown above.
Why add them half full of dried beans? If the game is played outside, a slight gust of wind can
knock over the cans, so you want a little weight to prevent them from knocking down
prematurely.
Game Setup:
This is a quick and easy setup - you just need a small table and optionally, something to cover
the table and add some more color. Next, you stack up your cans in the shape of a pyramid.
Before the carnival, test this carnival game for difficulty and place “stand behind” lines for
different age children using sidewalk chalk, tape, small traffic cones or hula hoops.
How to Play the Can Knock Down Game:
Children are given three bean bags to toss per game. Depending on the setup of the stand, they
win prizes based upon how many plastic cans they knock down in 3 tries.
You can make the game more difficult by requiring players to knock the entire group of cans off
the stand or just require that all cans be knocked over to win.
POPCORN CRAFT
Component: Art
Time: 20-25 minutes
Goal: To make a creative take on popcorn
Materials:
● Cotton balls
● White and red construction paper
● Glue
● Scissors
● Blue construction paper for background
● Yellow food coloring
Procedure:
1. Engage and Connect—5 minutes:
a. Ask the kids if they have ever been to the circus before? Or if they have ever been
to a carnival or amusement park? What kinds of foods do they eat when they are
there?
2. Introduction and Set Up—5 minutes:
a. Explain to the kids they will be making a bucket of popcorn! A popular treat when
watching movies, watching shows at the circus and more.
3. The Activity—15 minutes:
a. Draw out the shape of a bucket on the white piece of paper then glue it to the
background paper
b. Using the red paper, cut out strips and then glue them in a pattern on the bucket to
create the recognizable look.
c. Begin gluing the cotton balls to the top of the bucket. You can use this opportunity
to practice using just the right amount of glue since it doesn’t take too much to
adhere the cotton balls
d. Once you have built up a good mound of popcorn, use a bit of yellow food coloring
on the popcorn to look like butter!
Reflection: What did they think of this project? What other foods could they mimic with the
materials they used?

ACTIVATE AMERICA: Improving Our Balance
The inner ear contains the sensory organs for hearing and balance. Often as we age,
our balance skills deteriorate. For this reason it is important to do exercises to improve
and maintain balance throughout our lives. Balance exercises should be performed
daily in order to maintain good balance, so why wait? Start improving your balance
today!
Instructions:
1. Share the above information. Then start out with this simple warm-up exercise:
Stand up straight behind a chair.
Lightly grasp the chair with your finger tips.
Raise one leg a foot off the ground.
Maintain your balance while standing on one leg.
Hold for a count of ten seconds.
Repeat with your other leg.
2. Now try the same exercise without holding onto the chair.
3. Now try the same exercise without holding onto the chair AND while closing your
eyes.
4. How did everyone do? Was it hard? Was it easy? Exercises like these should
show you how good at balancing you are.
5. After everyone has gone through the warm-up, you are ready for some fun
balancing games. Choose from the following, or make up your own balancing
activities.
Beanbag Balance
Materials: Beanbags
Children can practice balance using a bean bag in a game called Beanbag Balance.
Give each child a beanbag and have her put it on her head and walk around the room,
making sure not to let the beanbag fall off her head. Challenge her to keep the beanbag
balanced while walking in different styles, such as walking quickly or walking
backwards. If you have a large group of children, you can make this activity into a
cooperative game. Have the children walk around or dance to music with beanbags
balanced. If a beanbag falls off a child's head, the child must freeze. To unfreeze,
another child must pick up the fallen beanbag and place it back on the frozen child's
head. The helper must keep her beanbag balanced while picking up the fallen beanbag.
You should allow time for the children to practice balancing the beanbag individually
before beginning the group game.
Hankie Hop
Materials: Hankies
This game requires children to balance a hankie while hopping. Form two even teams
from a group of children and have each team line up single-file. Give each team a
handkerchief or other small and light material. To play, the first player balances the
handkerchief on one foot and hops on the opposite foot to a predetermined finish line
and back again to his team's line. When he reaches his team's line, the next player
takes the handkerchief and repeats the process. If the handkerchief falls from the
player's foot, he must return to the start of his team's line and start over. The first team
to have all players successfully balance the handkerchief wins.
Hopscotch
Materials: Masking tape or chalk, stone
First, set up the hopscotch pattern using masking tape or chalk. The pattern consists of
eight numbered sections, which are traditionally square, and a starting line. Once the
pattern is set up, give each child a small marker such as a stone. Have the first player
stand behind the starting line and toss his marker in the first square. The player then
hops over the first square to the second square and continues hopping to the final
square. Once he reaches the final square, the player turns around and hops back to
square two, pauses to pick up the marker in square one, hops in square one and then
out of the hopscotch pattern. Once the first player finishes, the next player repeats his
actions. When all players have tossed markers into the first square, play continues by
repeating the process except with the stone tossed into a progressively higher
numbered square.
Players must hop on one foot unless the hopscotch pattern contains squares that are
side-by-side, in which case the player may place one foot in each square. A player is
out if he does not toss the marker into the correct square, if his foot touches a line, or if
he loses his balance while picking up the marker on his return.

MAKE A BIG TOP
Component: STEM
Time: 25-30 minutes
Goal: To recreate a big top using basic materials
Materials:
● Construction paper or stiffer paper
● Markers
● Scissors
● Glue
● 1 pipe cleaner for 2-3 kids
● Manilla folders (3) to make traceable versions of the parts
● Print out of the parts
Recommended project prep:
Print out the templates then create traceable versions for the kids out of thin cardboard or part
of a manilla folder, this will allow the kids to customize their big tops to their liking!
Procedure:
1. Engage and Connect—5 minutes:
a. Discuss what a big top is with the kids, how people might have built one and what
when on inside!
2. Introduction and Set Up—5 minutes:
a. Explain that they will be making their very own big top tent!
b. Provide the traceable parts and allow the kids to use construction paper or plain
paper to make the parts, then follow the instructions below to assemble!
3. The Activity—10 minutes:
Color the template.
Circus tents commonly come in red and white or red and yellow striped patterns but you can
always go with your own color combinations. Color the pieces on the first two pages. Leave out the
tabs (the sections bordered by dashed lines) on all three template pieces. The third page consists
of one small triangle and two big circles. These are your tent's flag and floor, respectively. Color
them with your preferred hues.
Cut out the template.
Cut out all six template pieces.
Assemble the tent's top.
Take the pizza-shaped template. Apply glue on the tab area. Transform the template into a cone
shape by gluing the tab behind the opposite wedge. Fold down the flaps along the bottom edge.
Add a flag.
Cut a 3-inch long piece of pipe cleaner and make a small loop on one end. Apply white glue just
above the loop.
Punch a small hole at the tip of the cone-shaped top. Insert the pipe cleaner through the hole from
the inside of the cone. Pull it all the way through until the loop touches the paper. The glue above
the loop should fix the pipe cleaner in place. Glue the small triangle at the tip of the pipe cleaner to
create a flag for your circus tent.
Assemble the tent's body.
The two long template pieces are the tent walls. Cut along the dashed lines at the bottom of each
wall template to create fringes.
Fold the fringes towards the back to create a crease at the top of each fringe.
Glue the two wall templates together along one side tab.
Gue the other side tab behind the opposite end of the template to form a cylindrical-shaped tent
body.
Add a base.
Place the tent body on a flat surface, with the fringes folded on the inside. You will notice that it's
not a perfect cylindrical shape. To make it rounder, we need to a add a round base at the bottom.
Apply glue at the back of one of the circle templates. Place the circle inside the tent body. Press
around the outside of the walls close to the base to cause the corners of the fringes to wrap around
the circle. Press down on the entire circle to glue the fringes firmly in place.
Position the tent body upside-down. Glue the second circle onto the tent's base. This circle makes
the base sturdier and also conceals the fringes.
Assemble the circus tent.
Finish up by putting the circus top and tent body together. You can glue the top permanently or
use it as a removable lid.
Reflection: How can the kids use this example to make their own unique buildings? What did
they think of this project?

DANCE STEPS AND GAMES!
The brilliant thing about dancing is that it's free, you don't need any special stuff, and you don't
even need to leave the house. So it's perfect for rainy days or if you're just looking for
something fun to do.
The box step
The box step makes the shape of a box on the floor and is a good one to start off with.
First half-box:
1. Step forward with your left foot
2. Step forward and across to the right with your right foot
3. Move your left foot across to your right foot, so your feet are together
Second half-box:
1. Step backwards with your right foot
2. Move your left foot back to your original start position
3. Move your right foot next across to your left, so your feet are together (you should be
back where you started!)
Try making different shapes on the floor with your feet or even add in a few star jumps and
leaps!
When you've got a very simple routine, try slowing it down, or going faster and faster.
YMCA
Dust off a Village People record and do the YMCA!
Sing the letters really loud as your body makes each of the shapes:
● Y: stretch your arms out to the sides and above your heads
● M: bend your elbows from the 'Y' pose so your fingertips meet over your chest
● C: stretch your arms out to the left in a half-circle
● A: hold your hands together above your head
Now for the rest of the alphabet! Go through the alphabet and make the shape of each letter
with your body. Capital letters are easier than small letters.
Dance games
Once you start moving, you'll want to keep on dancing. We've put together some of our favorite
dance games and routines to try. Give them a go with some friends for extra fun.
The washing game
For 2 people or more
One of you can be the caller first and then you can swap over. The caller calls out the following
laundry items and you do the following moves:
●
●
●
Skirt: sit on the floor with legs stretched out wide
Trousers: sit on the floor with legs outstretched together
Shorts: sit on the floor hugging your legs into your tummy
●
●
●
Dress: stand up with legs outstretched
Washing machine: jump up and down on the spot
Spin dryer: spin around on the spot
The DVD game
For 2 people or more
One of you can be the caller first and then you can swap over. The caller calls out the following
DVD controls and you do the following actions:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Rewind: run/walk backwards
Fast forward: run forwards
Pause: jump on the spot
Stop: stop
Eject: jump up
Record: pull a funny face
Slow motion: walk in a slow, exaggerated way
Zoo-guess-who?
For 2 people or more
Pretend to be your favourite zoo animal. Here are a few ideas:
● Snake: slither on the floor
● Rabbit: do some quick, small jumps with your hands on the floor
● Kangaroo: do some big bounces where you try to hit your bottom with your feet
● Lion: prowl with the largest steps you can take
● Cheetah: run on the spot as fast as you can
● Tiger: stretch and arch your back
Put all the moves together to make a great animal dance or get your friends together for a
carnival of animals.
Musical Chairs/Cushions
Another classic game for 2 or more players of all ages
For the first round, set out enough chairs or cushions for each player. Dance to the music. When
the music stops, players must rush to sit down on a chair or cushion.
With each round, remove one chair/cushion and then have the remaining player who misses
getting a chair/cushion join you as the judge!
(Some people do not like games that encourage exclusion, winning or 'losing'.. As an alternative,
rather than removing the player left without a chair/cushion you can allow multiple players per
seat or just have a little group of winners for each round but let everyone back in with each new
round)
Musical Statues
A classic game that can be played with 1 or more people of all ages.
Dance to the music. When the music stops you must FREEZE!
Children love trying not to wobble or giggle.
You can eliminate people that move to find one winner, or just play for fun like we do with
different "Statue Champs!" each round that manage to stay still.
When the music starts again, it's time to keep moving!
