Consolidate vocabulary in a ludic way. Circus Vocabulary Flashcards are a way to help your students to improve their visual memory and focus on learning the new vocabulary.

Use the Circus Flashcards to introduce the new words. Have the students identify Circus animals and people.

People work at the Circus, present them all together and ask questions with WHO?

Teacher: Who is this ?

Students: The clown!

There is food at the Circus. Review or introduce what people usually eat at the Circus, have them guess and pull out the flashcard.

Review the parts of the face using the clown flashcard. Include: ears,eyes, face,mouth, nose.As a teacher, use your chalk to collaboratively write the word for each part of face with your students. Reread the words with your students as a revision with them.

Review the parts of the body using another clown flashcard.

The clothes can also be reviewed.

In most circus settings there are animals or least there used to be. Review the animals by using the train with animals flashcards set. Put the train flashcards with zoo animals to play a review game. Use the pointer arrow that you can make using the templates.
Teacher: Point to the elephant!

The colors can be put into practice.Sort the Circus items by colors.

Here’s another example.

Prompt the students to identify the circus vocabulary flashcards using the arrow pointer or any other that you might have. If the student identifies the flashcard, take it off the board and give it to him/her. If not, continue with another student.

Student: Magician!

Throw the ball game. Find a very soft and harmless ball to have the students throw to the Circus Flashcard that you name from a distance. Students love playing with a ball and they can get extremely excited.
Student: tent!

Circus includes a balancing act! I bought the hat at a party store. Have the students walk with the flashcard on the hat as they say the name of flashcard.

Throw a beanbag to the favorite item in the circus. Line up the flashcards on the floor or desk. Name an item and have the student throw the bean bag to it.

Make the beanbag using felt and the templates provided. I made the ticket beanbag as my example. You can make several beanbags in different colors.
