These Circus Unit cutouts are a powerful way to help young English Language Learners practice vocabulary through hands-on, visual, and interactive activities. By manipulating characters like clowns, magicians, and animals, students engage with language in a meaningful and memorable way while developing speaking and comprehension skills.

Cutouts for Hands-On Learning

The Circus Unit Cutouts will attract your students’ attention as they get to grab each object or person such as the clown, the magician. They really appeal to the visual learners.

Make the arrows pointers using the templates, add a craft stick and wiggly eyes.

Pointer Activity (Arrows with Craft Sticks)

Make a train line with all the zoo animals to review them. It can also be a classroom decor. Use the pointer to name all the animals on the train. Ask about the color.

Teacher: What color are the lions?

Students: yellow!

Circus Scene Creation

Use the cutouts to make a Circus Scene. Use the Scene as Your English class decoration or an extension activity.Students can place the Circus cutouts on the scene as they name each object or person that works in a Circus.

The Circus words using the cutouts creates speaking opportunities.

Labeling Activity (Early Reading)

Some students are ready to read and labeling is a way to put them on track for the next step.

Feed Me Game (Communication Activity)

I love to include a feed me box to all the units. I found this cute tent clip art and students can feed any cutout and play in small groups. This activity is easy for the very little ones.

Clown Puppet (Face Parts Review)

Make this clown face puppet to review the parts of the face.
