CIRCUS TRAIN RELAY
Teams - First player is the train engine, next is ringmaster’s carriage, then lions’ carriage, musicians’ carriage, elephants’ carriage, monkeys’ carriage etc. Firstly, each engine races (with appropriate noises) to end and back, picks up next carriage (with noises) and races to end and back, then picks up next carriage etc. When all carriages are hitched to the engine, the whole train runs to end and back.
STEP BY STEP
Joey Scouts line up across the hall, facing end. Each places the heel of one foot in front of the toe of other; then bring the first foot in front of the second … continue, to
a line five metres away. (balancing on a tight rope)
BUILD A TENT
Equipment: Lots of boxes, long fabric/carpet cardboard rolls, sheets, blankets, wide print paper rolls, tables, chairs, masking tape, large safety pins, staples etc.
Method: Build a big top for a circus. Use bike boxes and they can make their own big top tent to decorate with flags etc)
THE GRAND OLD RINGMASTER (Adapted from The Grand Old Duke Of
York)
Oh the grand old ringmaster
He had his big top filled.
He cracked his whip and stood them up (all stand)
Then sat them down again (all sit)
And when they were up they were up (stand)
And when they were down they were down (sit)
And when they were only halfway up,
They were neither up (stand) nor down (sit)
CLOWNS
Place body parts together that are mentioned e.g. noses to another’s right thumbs; left knees to another’s left elbows; right big toes to left shoulders; left little fingers to right ears.
ROPE-LA
Equipment: Lengths of rope; assortment of items to throw ropes at, and to weight the
ropes.
- Show Joey Scouts how to coil rope correctly, and how to throw at different
sized and shaped objects. Allow Joey Scouts to practice.
- Show how to throw rope when weighted eg with a shoe, to land beside object
so as not to knock it over. Practice.
- Put loop in end (bowline would be best, but any loop can be used) Try
throwing loop over objects as in hoop-la.
