Is there a show today? Yes sir! Do you have marmalade today? Yes sir! And there are also clowns, jugglers, tightrope walkers, tamers, illusionists, trapeze artists, globists. From this point on, start talking about the circus, ask the children who have been to the circus to tell: What did you like most?
After a good conversation we will register the information.
And still on the circle, count how many children in the room went to the circus and how many who haven't yet. WERE NOT WERE
Another activity would be for the teacher to show images of professionals who work in the circus, to be recognized by the children, then set up a mural with the image and name of the character. This activity is cool because it gives students who haven't been to the circus the opportunity to get to know through images some elements that make up a show.
*Then, propose the re-reading of Romero Brito's work “CLOWN”. Take advantage of this moment to work with colors and geometric shapes.
Watch the movie “Os Saltimbancos” Trapalhões. Humble employees, friends Didi (Renato Aragão), Dedé (Dedé Santana), Mussum (Mussum) and Zacarias (Zacarias) become the big attraction of the Bartolo circus, thanks to his incredible ability to make the audience to laugh. But their success comes at a price: the opposition of the magician Assis Satã and the greed of the Baron, the owner of the circus. Together, the four friends will have to fight them.
