It’s a bright and sunny day! Peppa Pig and her friends are visiting Grandpa and Granny Pig. Grandpa Pig is busy using his hammer.
“It’s a circus tent!” Peppa shouts excitedly.
“Hooray!” everyone cheers.
But Grandpa Pig says, “This isn’t a circus tent.”
Peppa is curious. “It looks like a circus tent. What is it?” she asks.
Grandpa Pig explains, “It’s for Granny Pig’s garden party.” Peppa doesn’t know what a garden party is, so Grandpa Pig tells her it’s a party where grown-ups stand around and talk. That doesn’t sound fun to Peppa, so she has a better idea.
“Let’s put on our own show!” Peppa suggests. “We’ll call it Peppa’s Circus.”
Granny Pig thinks having a circus at her garden party is a wonderful idea. Everyone wants to join the circus fun! Danny Dog wants to be the strong man, and Emily Elephant wants to be the juggler.
“My father used to work in a circus,” says Emily Elephant.
“He did?” asks Peppa. “What did he do?”
“He’s the ticket taker,” says Emily. “Admit one!”
Granny Pig brings out the dress-up box. There are lots of fun costumes inside! Danny Dog finds polka dot shorts and a stick-on mustache.
“My strong man suit!” he says proudly.
Peppa finds a hat, and Pedro Pony finds a clown costume and a horn.
“Honk honk!” goes the horn.
Rebecca Rabbit helps with makeup. “Hold still, Pedro,” she says.
Everyone is dressed and ready for the show.
“Grandpa,” says Peppa, “I don’t have anything to do.”
“Well, you can be the ringmaster,” Grandpa Pig suggests.
“What does the ringmaster do?” Peppa asks.
“The ringmaster is the boss,” says Grandpa Pig.
Peppa likes that idea. “I will be the ringmaster boss!” she declares.
“Good,” says Grandpa. “You can say, ‘Welcome to my circus! Come and see the amazing feats of daring!’”
Granny’s guests start to arrive, and everyone gathers inside the striped tent.
“Welcome to my circus!” shouts Peppa. “Come and see the amazing feats!”
The circus begins with Peppa announcing, “Prepare to be scared!”
“Is it a tiger?” Rebecca asks.
“No, it’s Candy Cat!” Peppa laughs.
“Now watch the amazing cyclists!” Peppa announces.
George, Richard, and Edmund ride their bikes and squeak happily.
Here’s the strong Danny Dog! Danny shows his muscles and lifts Peppa to show how strong he is.
“This is the crowd!” Peppa says.
“Now please welcome Emily Elephant, who will juggle two potatoes!” Peppa announces.
Emily tosses the potatoes up and down, but they go splat!
When Pedro the Clown walks into the ring, everyone laughs at his funny antics.
“Thank you for coming to my circus!” says Peppa with a big smile.
Everyone claps and cheers. What a fun day at Peppa’s Circus!
Goodbye!
Create Your Own Circus: Gather some simple costume items like hats, scarves, and face paint. Encourage the children to dress up as different circus performers, such as clowns, jugglers, or strongmen. Let them put on a mini circus show for their classmates or family members. Ask them to think about what special talent or act they would like to perform and how they can make it fun for the audience.
Explore Circus Roles: Discuss with the children the different roles in a circus, such as the ringmaster, performers, and ticket takers. Ask them questions like, “What do you think a ringmaster does?” or “How would you welcome people to your circus?” Encourage them to take turns being the ringmaster and practice introducing acts with enthusiasm.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a walk around the school or playground. Ask them to observe and point out things that remind them of a circus, such as a colorful playground structure or a balancing act on a beam. Encourage them to use their imagination and think about how everyday objects or activities can be part of a circus adventure.
