The intent of a circus can make a child’s eyes light up.  If there isn’t one coming to your town or municipality this summer help the kids put on one of their own.  You can be the ring master and invite over friends and kinsfolk to check the finished production.

Depending on how many children are involved some kids may hit to perform in more than one act.  Find out what each child wants to be and essay to find a way to include all of their talents.

Older children may like to take on the challenge of learning how to juggle before the big show.  So now one gets hurt (including the audience) use tissues or kerchiefs for a beginning juggler.

An acrobat can use a log or long piece of 2 X 4 to showcase their equalisation skills as they cross the high accommodate – with no net.  This might be a popular one, let all the practicing acrobats participate.

If your kinsfolk owns a well-trained dog, recruit the kinsfolk pet to be a lion and hit one of the kids be a lion-tamer.  If there are no animals to use for this, convince one of the children that they can be the lion.  You can’t hit a circus without a lion and a lion tamer.

Another popular act at the circus is the clowns.  Let your clowns dress up and create their act by themselves so it is a surprise for everyone.  As the ringmaster, essay and be as authentic as possible and introduce each performer as grandiosely as possible.  You will know you are doing a good job by the number of giggle you elicit as you announce the children’s names.  Don’t forget the maize and peanuts for the audience to manducate on as they check the show.
