Abstract

The educational potential of circus instruction has been calling the attention of Physical Education teachers both in recreational and school fields. Different pedagogical approaches encourage the authors to discuss the fruitful dialog between body and art education. Based on several previous studies on the topic, this chapter presents a short review on circus instruction and specifies dozens of motor games developed to enrich circus activities teaching. Thus, they organize the “circus games” in five categories: acrobatic games, juggling games, funambulist or balance games, clowning (role-play) games, and other circus games. In fact, they aim to introduce the circus instruction based in a playful and artistic perspective, trying to promote it to the Physical Education teachers under an artistic-aesthetic education environment.
