Games and entertainment for a circus party

Attention! Attention! Let's start the circus show! On the stage - famous illusionist _(come up with a name)_.

Do you want to learn how to do the same? We can try! But first, you need to practice your dexterity and accuracy!

Game 1. Sleight of hand and no cheating!	Step 1. Throw the ball at the target. Step 2 We try to put a ring on the bottle. Step 3 We catch a duck in the pool. I see that you are now ready for more serious challenges! Ready? Now I invite strongmen and tightrope walkers to the arena of our circus! Who can lift a hundred-kilogram barbell? How about walking across the thin bridge between heaven and earth? Come out! Be brave!
Game 2. Walk along the rope and lift the barbell	For the “rope” you can use a wooden pile fixed to two concrete bases. The height of the structure should not exceed 30-50 cm from the ground (this is a safety rule that will help avoid severe injuries and bruises). And now - death number! I ask everyone who is afraid of tigers to move away from the arena!
Game 3. Tiger jump through the ring of fire	Now let's choose the most accurate shooter!
Game 4. Dart Throwing	At a distance of 15-20 steps you need to place a stand with glued balloons. The essence of the task: hit the ball with a dart so that it bursts.
Game 5. Minefield	Now let's test your ability to navigate in space blindfolded! Essence: Scatter a lot of inflated balloons on the floor. Children must catch as many of them as possible and burst them.
Game 6. Spin the plate	Essence: Children are given canes and plastic plates with a hole in the center. You need to put the plate on the cane and twist it. Whoever can keep the plate on the cane the longest will win a prize. And now we present to your attention a show of circus acrobats!
Game 7. The mystery of the mysterious box	Essence: On the bottom of a large box we glue a sheet of Whatman paper with pre-drawn multi-colored circles. Children should be asked to put their hand into the circle and find out by touch what is hidden behind it. At this time, adult assistants should place the arm that appears on the opposite side of the circle. various items- soft toys, balls, sweets. You can also tickle your nerves a little: put ice, something sticky, prickly, etc. This will be more fun and the children will have more vivid impressions of the holiday!
Game 8. Air-water war	If your holiday coincides with very hot weather, and you spend it in the yard, give your children this entertainment: fill it with water Balloons(these are grenades). On command you need to take the balls and throw them at each other. If you are planning such fun for your guests, warn their parents in advance. Let them bring dry clothes to the holiday so that the “little snipers” can change!
Game 9. Making clowns from plastic plates	Traditionally, before the treat, you need to offer the children a quiet game. For example, teach children to make a clown from plastic plates, knitting threads, glue, glitter and colored paper.

CIRCUS THEME TREATS FOR KIDS

For children's party in style circus performance and the treat needs to be selected accordingly. These should be snacks that you can eat with your hands. Sandwiches, hot dogs, buns and pretzels, popcorn and cotton candy.

Why do we love the circus and why do we go to it? Some people take their children there, while others like it themselves. After all, upon crossing the threshold of the circus, even adults’ eyes light up with a mischievous sparkle. Eat cotton candy, multi-colored popcorn, take a photo with a teddy bear, and at the same time cuddle it... Who wouldn’t like that?! And the performance in the circus... Both adults and children, as if spellbound, without taking their eyes off the stage, watch the circus performance, forgetting about everything in the world.

As we know, there are a great many genres in the circus. This is acrobatics. And athletics, and balancing act, and gymnastics, illusion, training, juggling and, of course, clowning.

Where did our clowns come from? They first appeared in Rus' in the form of buffoons. This collective image people: a wandering singer, a masterful storyteller, and an actor. The people liked his buffoonish disposition and character. From time immemorial people have loved buffoons. And today they love clowns.

It should be noted that a circus clown is a jack of all trades. A clown must be able not only to parody acts, but also to be at the same time an acrobat, musician, juggler, and even a trainer! A clown is a very important member of the circus, which with its versatility, skill, and image brightly complements and colors the circus in the bright colors of rainbow laughter. And, of course, clowns instill desperate joy and love of life into people’s hearts.

History tells us that the art of clowning, alas, has no traditions. This is almost the only genre in which no dynastic traditions can be traced throughout the history of the circus. Perhaps this did not happen because the clown is a unique phenomenon. He is inimitable, always unique and original. Each image is dynamic, it develops over time.

So what is the circus as a phenomenon? Man has always strived for the unknown, the unknown, the extraordinary, going beyond everyday life. Admiration for the agility and speed of acrobats, the flexibility and plasticity of gymnasts, the grace of tightrope walkers, and the undoubtedly impressive courage of tamers and the unraveling of tricks and tricks of illusionists. We are proud of the performers on the circus stage. We are proud and imagine within ourselves that we are just as strong, brave, dexterous and flexible. The manifestation of higher, unusual abilities has always attracted people. It was alluring and fascinating. And this whole picture is very harmoniously and stylishly complemented by the jokes and tricks of the clowns, which can make everyone who comes to the circus laugh. Optimism is the most important trait that a circus brings. And this is very important for all of us, because... optimism is our engine, it is our companion on the road to higher goals. And the circus helps us recharge with this same optimism.
