Circus Week-Long Lesson Plan Template for Preschoolers This editable Circus Week-Long Lesson Plan Template provides preschool teachers with a concrete framework to guide daily instruction. The template, designed in Microsoft Word, includes sections for Circle Time, Movement, Art, Science, Language/Literacy, Dramatic Play, Math, Construction, and Enrichments/Special activities. Teachers can tailor this template to their classroom resources, students' needs and temperaments, and existing content knowledge. The customizable sections allow flexibility to remove or add activities as appropriate. Additional notes can be typed directly into the template to support planning. When using this lesson plan template, teachers should consider hands-on and student-led activities that provide a rich, engaging circus theme. Potential activities could incorporate dramatic play as performers, sensory bins with textured "sawdust," counting games with numbered rings, letter recognition on circus posters, animal science experiments, and more. This editable template supports preschool teachers in thoughtfully preparing in advance for an organized, productive learning week. Similar curriculum pack resources available emphasize other themes like gardening, clouds, ice cream, popcorn, space, and Earth Day.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Participate across a week of circus-themed activities spanning language, math, science, art, and movement, connected by a single classroom theme.

Teaching tips

Review the suggested plan and fill or adapt cells for your circus week, or replace individual cells with your own activities — the document is a normal editable Word table, not a locked template.
Gather simple materials ahead of time based on the week's cells (e.g., stuffed animals for dramatic play, cookie cutters for playdough, plastic circus animals for construction), since several activities call for specific props.
Use Monday's "What do we know about the Circus?" and Friday's "What did we learn about the Circus?" circle-time prompts as a simple before/after check on what the class picked up during the week.
