CLEVER CLOWNS

C.K. is trying to figure out this slogan that the great circus man, P.T. Barnum, once said. Match the symbols at left with their correct letter to find the answer.

ITS ALL IN THE MAKEUP

Anita, Beth, and Dugan are learning how to put on clown makeup. Clowns base the design of their makeup on three types of faces. To see what these faces are called, find the vowels on the kid's shirts. Use them to complete the words on the table.

MAKE YOUR OWN CLOWN

Ernest is deciding which kind of clown he will be. You can, too. Trace the features that you want your clown to have onto tracing paper. Color your picture.

ANIMAL-MANIA

This silly animal is used in a lot of clown acts. Follow the dots to see what it looks like.

PIE IN THE SKY

Dugan is learning how to throw a pie. But someone above him has other ideas. Solve the math problem on the bucket to find out how old Clown College is.

SOMETHING'S MISSING

Ernest is practicing a circus trick. Connect the dots to find out what he's doing.

JUGGLE JINX

All clowns must learn how to Juggle. Uh-Oh! Anita lost something. Find the missing object hidden somewhere on this page.

TIGHTROPE

Match the letters on Abby's parasol to the colored spaces to find out the name of a famous down.

GUESS AGAIN!

C.K. is learning how to pantomime (PAN-toe-mime). When you pantomime, the audience has to guess what you're doing. To find out what Chris is doing, solve the riddle below.
