We selected in this post some suggestions for your Elementary School Carnival Project.
O Carnival is a mobile date celebration, but it must be commemorated in a Tuesday. Although traditionally this is a day off, the Carnival is not a national holiday.
Teachers across the country are working on this commemorative date, and it was with this in mind that we selected these wonderful suggestions for your Elementary School Carnival Project, check out:
Index
In this class the student will have the opportunity to:
Moment 1
Moment 2
1) Mask
2) Costumes
3) Parade
4) Samba
5) Fun
6) Confetti
The teacher will show the pictures, dictate the words one by one and correct them one by one as well. First the students write, “as they know how” in the notebook and then a student will go to the board to write the word next to the pasted picture. After the chosen student writes the word, the teacher and students will think together if it was written according to the spelling rule, observing each letter.
Moment 3
The teacher will prepare individual forms for the students, photocopied on colored sheets, which will present phrases about the carnival, but will contain the words joined in the sentence, so the student will separate the words with colored pencils, paste the sentence in the notebook and copy it under the collage with letter cursive.
This activity is very important for students to work on the segmentation of speech and writing and recognize the need for spaces between words.
Thus, the form with the sentences may be as follows:
Moment 4
The teacher will hand out other carnival figures to the children and ask them to paste one at a time, paint and write sentences about them.
Before the students write, it is important that the teacher chooses a picture and writes a sentence as a model, then the writings will be individual and the teacher will provide individual assistance, reading and correcting the sentences of each student. Those students who are not yet literate will read what they wrote so that the teacher can write below their sentences what they produced. At the end of the activity, some students can, if they want, read their sentences to their classmates.
The teacher must assess whether the student can already encode and decode the written code by reading words and writing sentences and words about carnival.

Considering the carnival as a contributing phenomenon to the formation of Brazilian culture and taking into account its importance as a symbol of national identity, this project seeks to to develop work methodologies aimed at an interdisciplinary analysis of the carnival, promoting new knowledge possibilities for educators and students in an innovative and educational.
O elementary school carnival project focuses on working the interdisciplinarity of carnival from a perspective of knowledge reconstruction, allied to technological resources, such as fundamental tool for the socialization of knowledge, disseminating information and cultures, and above all not just transmitting but reconstructing the knowledge.
The best way to make this happen is through interdisciplinarity.
Working carnival in an interdisciplinary way involves the contextualization of knowledge, evoking facts of personal, social and cultural life, especially work and citizenship.
This project aims to go beyond the simple juxtaposition of disciplines, with the participation of educators and students so that both can interact in pursuit of common goals.
Develop the theme of carnival in an interdisciplinary and innovative way, combined with technological resources, involving educators and students, providing a new vision of carnival from different perspectives.
Provide students with opportunities to build relationships between new content and knowledge that already they have, achieving learning that allows the interference in a new reality, triggering new actions.
The project will develop suggestions for classroom methodologies to meet the following subjects:
Explore with students the plots of some samba schools. They usually tell a story. Help students establish relationships with what is said in music and reality. If possible, after the parades, promote a debate with the students, assessing whether the school really managed to tell the proposed story, whether it was faithful to the facts, etc.
Work the samba lyrics Will pass, by Chico Buarque and Francis Hime. This song brings rich historical information, suggested in the form of metaphors. (“At a time / Unhappy page of our history / Faded passage in memory / Of our news generations / Our motherland slept so distracted / Without realizing that she was taken away / In tenebrous transactions(…)”. Introduce the students to the song and ask them to write next to the stanzas which fact or period Chico refers to. (What time was an unfortunate page in our history? What would be the tenebrous transactions?) This activity will be very rich to recall what was studied in History in the previous years, in addition to being an opportunity to make contact with quality music, well written and with contents.
Analyze the most common stereotypes intensely conveyed at carnival. Researching the history of the celebration, we notice that the female image has been quite stereotyped, since the first years of revelry. Promote this research and discuss with students how women are viewed today. Another good discussion is: “How can women contribute to fighting the formation of stereotypes and the degradation of their image – not just in carnival?”. (Transversal Themes, Internet Research and Positivo Portal).
MATH: Statistics, percentage of violence, alcohol and drug use index.
SCIENCES: DST's – Effect of drinks and drugs.
How is carnival celebrated in Recife, Olinda, Manaus? What other Carnivals are there in the world? Divide the class into groups and ask each one to research a specific carnival: Venice, Recife, Olinda, Rio de Janeiro, etc. Groups can present their research to peers using songs, dances, props and costumes according to the carnival of the researched location. Use of maps to locate states and countries (internet – google maps).
Encourage students to research the history of carnival and draw a parallel between the old street games and the current celebration.

this wonderful carnival project was prepared by professor Valéria, from the blog Teaching with Affection.
Carnival in Brazil is one of the most traditional festivals in the world and since childhood, children listen, experience and enjoy the experience of this culture, even if it is through TV, stories or interacting in playful social contexts on the street, or on the school.
For this reason, we propose a recreational action about carnival in the classroom, meeting the interests of children, respecting their needs, curiosities and ideas.
Bring the child the opportunity to get to know the carnival, how it is organized, as well as the importance and value of this tradition in the culture of its people, Brazil and the world, through the attractive manifestations that the party itself disposes.
