Carnival masked ball

Children make carnival masks and enjoy a party with dancing and musical statues.

Steps

1. Chat: what carnival is and why it ends with a party before Lent.
2. Children cut out eye masks from a template and decorate them with feathers and sequins.
3. The teacher attaches elastic or a stick for holding the mask.
4. Dance game: when the music stops, children freeze like statues.
5. Finally, a parade of masks and a group photo.

Tip: Masks on a stick are more comfortable for children who do not like elastic round their head.

Materials needed

• Blank masks to decorate (1 per child)
• Craft feathers (1 pack per group)
• Craft sequins (1 pack per group)
