Students investigate the characteristics of different circus jobs and the animals commonly seen at the circus. They read a book about clowns and construct and perform a trick hot dog. Students also create a clown accordion book.

Students read books, learn about the letter c, and eat with clown noses on to learn about clowns. In this clowns lesson plan, students also have a parade where they dress like clowns.

In this anti-coloring circus-themed worksheet, students note the black dot in the circus scene and consider what part of the invisible clown that the dot may represent.
