About This Product

The Great Adventure Circus

The Great Adventure Circus is an engaging teaching resource that brings the joy of a circus adventure into your classroom or homeschool while serving as a fantastic learning tool for literary exploration.

Main Features

  • 21-22 individual parts, fully adaptable to suit varying abilities and interests.

  • Ideal for students from 1st-3rd grades

  • Adaptable to whole group or small group settings

Circus Beyond Entertainment

This play goes beyond just setting up the stage and reading lines aloud. From directing to prop management, sound effects creation to ticket selling, each student has a role in bringing The Great Adventure Circus to life. Although the play was written with specific circus acts based on the author's students at the onset of writing the play, you can adapt the lines to meet your student's talents and interests. For example, if you have a child who juggles or walks on stilts, substitute that "talent" or add that circus act to the play for a very personalized, interactive, fun-filled experience!

An Encouraging Teacher Guide

The inclusive Teacher Guide promotes lively discussions on aspects like character development and plot analysis to enhance students’ vocabulary expansion, comprehension levels, and creative/critical thinking skills.
