CATCH THE PERFORMERS
Two Joey Scouts hold hands and are the NET. Others are circus performers, swinging around as the net attempts to catch them. If they are caught they become part of the net, all holding hands.
MUSICAL SPOTLIGHTS (a.k.a. Musical Chairs)
Equipment Ipod, chalk; 50cm diameter circles drawn on floor for spotlights, with less than half the number of Joey Scouts participating at a time; damp cloth.
Method: All move around as if riding horses until music stops and then run to a spotlight and pose. A circle is then removed with the cloth. Any Joey that cannot fit into a circle is out of the game. Continue this until there is only one circle left.
PLATES ON STICKS
Joeys place paper plates on sticks (dowel cut to length) and spin plates and try and keep them balanced on a stick like a clown. (Use plastic plates if paper doesn’t work)
CRAFT: Balloon faces
EQUIPMENT...... Balloons, flour, funnel
Fill balloons with flour, to about hand size, tie off, add hair and eyes and mould face to the shape you like, hours and hours of fun with this craft.
CIRCUS CHARADES
