Alphabet Game – CIRCUS

[Cassel]

In August, our monthly theme is CIRCUS.

Let’s play our monthly alphabet game.

Let’s find various items or activities starting with all the letters of the alphabet and related to the circus.

Let’s go!

Q = quirky…some of the acts are a bit bizarre.

Q = quality…a good circus is fun…a not so good circus isn’t.

[Dianne]

[Bonnie Ballentine]

S = Strong man; side show; show; stilts

[Bonnie Ballentine]

W = winter home; whip (don’t like this one)

This may seem like a stretch but it seems to me a circus is a welcoming environment – come one, come all.

Not the best answer but I can’t think of anything else.
