Hi

Our PTA has booked a circus for next summer and want to run a summer fayre with a circus theme but I am struggling to come up with some circus themed games/activites.

Face painting, skittles in the shape of clowns, Soak a teacher!

How about a "Slow Bicycle Competition"

You need a child's bicycle and a stopwatch.
Set up a twisty course using cones.
Charge 50p a go.
Time how long it takes people to cycle round the course without stopping .

Prize at the end of the fayre for the SLOWEST time.

You could give them a clown's hat to wear to add to the circus atmosphere.

HTH

Large cardboard box with a clown painted on it, cut out eyes, nose etc and get the kids to throw beanbags or ping pong balls in to win a prize.

Ring toss over circus clowns made from cardboard

Find the ping pong ball in a vat of custard to win a prize

Pin the nose on the clown

Stack cans and get the kids to knock them down with beanbags

As above but a coconut shy
