There are people who say that the year only starts after carnival, but at school it's not like that. Activities start before and carnival projects can be produced to promote national culture, stimulate children's creativity, work on motor coordination, boost cooperation and group work, among many other positive factors.
During Carnival, the teacher includes the commemorative date in the list of written activities or practices to be developed, whether to work on the Portuguese language, Brazilian history, artistic education, among other disciplines.

As the music stops playing, one must try to pop the balloon of the colleague next to him, but always trying to take care of his own so that he doesn't get hit.
The person who has the balloon popped is out of the game.automatically, and the big winner will be the one who keeps the balloon safe.

On the occasion, the little ones will have to blow the little boats with the straw with the intention of winning the race, that is, reaching the final destination.
Whoever crosses the path first is the winner of the game.

Create a map with directions and clues as to which directions you need to go to find the carnival treasure. Throughout each achievement, reward participants with sweets or chocolates.
It is important to always have a responsible person to monitor and check if the activity is being followed correctly.
Carnival chairs dancing
Most people already know musical chairs, don't they? Well, plan a chair dance with carnival marches, which can be done by both children and teenagers, young people and adults.
Place the chairs in a circle, always with fewer participants than the number of participants, and put the music on while people dance around the circle.
When the music stops, you have to find a place to sit and the one who doesn't find it is eliminated from the game. When there is only one chair left and the last one manages to sit down, he will be the winner.
Butterfly balloon explosion
The game is suitable for children with an average age of 4 years. To make it, you will need a panel decorated in the shape of a butterfly, which can be made and colored in any way that creativity allows.

Children will be positioned in a row and each one will have to hit a balloon, entitled to one gift at a time. All this to the sound of carnival songs and with the participants costumed.

Each of them will carry a wand. The bad fairy will be responsible for freezing people and the good fairy for unfreezing people. The rest of the players will have to run and run away from the curse.
