Plan on an entertaining activity for your preschool students. Glue each small card onto a ribbon. Place the long ribbon of small cards into a hat. Start pulling the ribbon as students will name each one coming out just as the magicians do.

Student: hat! zebras! Clown!

I found this game called The Tower Game. 

It's a vocabulary game for kids.Stuents will develop the ability to effectively listen to the words said and speak as they name the word on the card.

I grabbed some small cups that I had left over from a party but you can use recycled yogurt cups. Students will name a small card and place on a cup and so on until it falls and then start it again. It will be another balancing act for the circus unit.
