The Greatest Show on Earth is coming to town September 22 - 26, 2010. That would be the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
If you are looking for something to do with the kids this weekend there are a few events that will be happening at the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum that might interest you. Get out of the house and have some fun.
Saturday, August 14th, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. - CircusWorks® teachers’ seminar. This is a 3-hour fun-packed, interactive, standards based curriculum for moms, teachers and leaders of K-8th grade students. Activities cover many areas of standard curriculum including history, cultural & multi-lingual studies, arts, music, creative writing & literacy, health & fitness with a stress on team building, decision making and FUN.
Saturday, August 14th from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. Clown College for Kids. This is for kids from age 7 to 17. They will be taught to pie, walk funny, be funny, a few will learn Ringmastering skills, some will become a circus band, others hoops spins, ribbon dancers. Not only we they be taught to juggle, but how to make juggling balls with balloons and bird seed. Maybe one has always wanted to tame a lion, or show off their acrobatic skills. How does a clown do their makeup? The answers to all these and more questions will be answered this Saturday, August 14th at the Discovery Gateway. The kids will be learning to put together an entire performance which will be performed at 3:30 p.m. Did I ask? Have you ever been pied by a clown? Come learn how! Anyone interested in participating should call the Discovery Gateway to register (801) 456-5437 ext. 132.
