This is great fun as a outdoor activity. Put a blown balloon for the nose of the clown or the trunk of the elephant. I use needleless syringes or small spray bottles. This can be a relay race or compete against a timer or just purely for fun. The teacher will gently tape one student, that student will jump up and take someone's clown nose.
Teacher says. . . .
Get a hula hoop. Have the children line up and jump through the hoop like some circus animals do. Ask them to jump like different circus animals such as a tiger, an elephant, a lion. Have the children come up with their own animals and how they would jump through the hoop.
