Circus

Z.Toropchina

There's another attraction at the circus.

Tigers and an elephant perform

Acrobats and athletes...

Buy tickets quickly!

Rare talents await you -

Circus performers and musicians.

Here the artists are animals, people,

And no one will be bored!..

There is a bright light in the arena,

There are no empty seats in the hall.

The clown came out - what fun!

Everyone is dying of laughter.

The acrobat is so beautiful!

But it's dangerous under the dome,

And upside down too.

The spectator froze, barely alive.

Fleet horses

Dashingly rushing around the site,

And on them are horsemen-aces

They do crazy things.

Here's a riddle for people -

Magician and sorcerer:

Showed me an empty bag -

In a moment there is a cockerel!

All teams deftly, quickly

Performed by lion artists,

Monkeys, tigers, cats...

Let's clap everyone's hands

For the pleasant excitement,

For talent and skill!..

Circus is everywhere, all over the planet

Adults and children love it!

Hello children. Today we are going to the circus.

Children make a circus tent out of geometric shapes. The teacher asks to name the shapes (circle, triangle, square, rectangle) and their color.

Let's put the elephant on a big stand. Put? Now let’s put the lion on a small pedestal.
Walk the horse around in a circle. Place the monkey on the swing. Make a ladder out of counting sticks.

Children use scissors to cut tickets along the line.

A clown performs at the circus. He is cheerful and tries to cheer everyone up.

Look, it's a clown. Let's put makeup on him, make him beautiful. Glue on the clown's hair, hat and bow.

Now we will help decorate another clown. Let's make him a beautiful collar from clothespins.

A strongman performs in our circus. He is very strong and can lift enormous weights.

Experiment “Heavy-light”

Hold the bags in your hands and tell which ones are light and which are heavy.
Children are offered bags with cotton wool and pebbles.

In this picture, a strongman in a circus lifts heavy weights and a barbell. Organize buttons by color and size.

Dynamic pause “Playing with weights”

Take the weight in your right hand. Lift it up, put it on your shoulder, lower it to the floor.
Grab the kettlebell with your left hand. Lift it up, put it on your shoulder, hide it behind your back.
Place a weight on the floor in front of you and jump over it.

In the circus, trainers always perform with their trained animals.

Didactic game “Animals in Cages”

After the performance, the animals return to their cages. Help put the animals in cages. Place a tall giraffe in a tall cage, then select suitable cages for the zebra and monkey.

Children arrange cardboard pictures of elephants from largest to smallest.

Didactic game “Find the shadow”

Children attach colored silhouette images of animals to their black silhouette shadows.

Exercise “Trained Animals”

Children, if desired, put on animal hats and follow the teacher-trainer’s commands: stand, sit, lie down, crawl, crawl into a fiery ring-hoop, walk along a bench, climb over an obstacle.

Construction of “Horse Fences” from building material

Children make fences from bars placed on the side edge: low - from one bar, medium - from two bars, high - from three bars laid on top of each other.

Game "Circus Horse"

A saddle is attached to the fly horse toy - a piece of thick fabric on the back and a decoration - a feather is stuck into a piece of plasticine attached to the horse's head. Then the horse jumps over the fences.
To jump over a high fence, the horse must jump high.

Didactic exercise “Snake”

Open the box and take out the snake cord. How long is the snake? The snake is long. Pull the string and show how the snake crawls. Place the string snake back into the box and cover with the lid.

Dynamic pause “Performance with a snake”

Children lie down on the “snake” laid out on the floor with their chests and swing their arms and legs, then turn over, lie on their backs, and raise their arms and legs up. Walking on a snake, crawling, jumping over.

Magicians also perform at the circus.

Didactic exercise “What’s in the ball?”

Children are given balls and asked to determine by touch which ball has one pebble and which has many pebbles.

Didactic game “What disappeared?”

Three objects are laid out in front of the children, covered with a scarf, and one object is quietly removed. Children must name this missing item.

Didactic game “Colored water”

The teacher paints the lid of the water jar in advance. After the words “Hocus Pocus!” The jar is shaken and the water becomes colored. Children name the color the water is colored. Then, using a brush and paint, they paint the water in the non-pouring bottle according to the color of the sticker pasted on it.

Drawing “Fireworks in the circus arena”

Children draw fireworks with paints using toothbrushes, moving them up and to the sides from the image of the magician.

My children and I prepared these wonderful original cards for the sweet, kind, most gentle mothers. May their mood be good.

In today’s article I would like to introduce children and their parents to a funny clown - an indispensable “merry man” in the circus, which we will make with our own hands together.

This little man in the arena is able to make any spectator, both old and young, laugh, play the accordion, sing a funny song, and show many original tricks. And that’s why today’s article is on the topic of clown applique.

After reading the detailed instructions and following each step step by step, it will not be difficult for even a novice master.

This master class will involve geometric shapes, which will allow the child to develop his knowledge by studying shape and color, and diagrams and photos will help to visually understand how to make a paper craft. Little children in the junior group of kindergarten will make appliqués using the prepared parts, and children in the middle group will be able to cut out the components according to the template.

To make a clown applique, prepare:

• templates of geometric shapes;
• thick cardboard - base;
• colored paper;
• scissors;
• a tube of paper glue (PVA is fine).

Attaching the templates to colored paper, cut out:

Fabric applique “Clown”

In this type of needlework there are many different techniques for performing crafts. In this MK we will consider the technology of making a clown applique from pieces of fabric. It will also not be difficult for children if adults help them understand the step-by-step description of the work. So, in the preparatory group, children were asked to work with an appliqué made of fabric, pieces of which will be glued to a sheet of cardboard. In addition, children's crafts will look bright and funny if the clown himself is painted. Interesting additions will be applique elements made of fabric, threads or other decorative elements. Another option for clown applique is to apply the contours of the design to a fabric base and secure the details using satin stitches. In this master class we offer several interesting ideas. Pictures can be printed on a printer and then cut out as a stencil.

Colored paper clown

If your child liked this master class and he admires this fun, then another idea is proposed below.

Video: Making a circus out of paper

The little one and I did it!

Since our family has an ingrained tradition of remembering everything at the last moment, this case was no exception. My son Vadik told me about the assignment exactly one day before it was due. There was nowhere to go - I had to get to work!

Tools and materials

The model of the city does not require any extra-natural materials, and a normal student should have everything available:

1. Ruler
2. Colored paper + colored cardboard
3. Colour pencils
4. Scissors
5. Brushes + paints (we used gouache)
6. Glue
7. A4 paper

How to make a city layout

We thought about it a little and decided that since time was running out, we would make a road + a couple of buildings + some kind of transport. We decided - we do it.

We took a piece of thick cardboard, cut out a 40 by 30 cm rectangle from it. Then we pasted it on one side with A4 office paper.

Having carefully trimmed the edges, we got a base for the layout, which is ready for painting.

They drew an impromptu road

The next step was to build a high-rise building. I don’t give explicit dimensions, since everything was done by eye...

Before gluing the building together I decorated it

This is what happened after gluing

We cut the back of the building to size, then glued it on and also painted it.

Children's city model

Sorry friends.

Due to the fact that time was really pressing, the shooting had to be postponed. The building alone took almost 2 hours.

The next step was a bus. They did it according to the same principle as the building - they glued it together and painted it. Balconies were added to the building and the inscription “shop” was attached to the bottom.

They built a stop with a sign and made several trees.

The final step was gluing all the products onto the base. To make it stick better in some places I had to use tape :)

And here is the result!

And further…

The city model with your own hands is ready!

Thank you for watching!
