pack your bags
load the van
and head for your
next adventure
Are you ready for an adventure? Then pack your bags and let’s get going because the Circus of Similes is on the move!
But how will you know where to go? Don’t worry, the Circus has you sorted. Pop into the Baggage Van and you’ll find On Your Bike and Time to Travel which contain a map with compass directions and poetry prompts to help you on your way.
Remember to pack a notebook so you can scribble down your ideas and poems as you go. You’ll find one that you can use in each of the downloaded files that are linked below.
Note: for this attraction at The Circus of Similes, you will need a compass (if you have a mobile phone it should have a compass app otherwise you can pick them up fairly cheaply at camping or adventure stores) and a coin. Plus a pen or pencil to write with if you’re going old school.
Print & Play Instructions
Each of the downloads, On Your Bike and Time to Travel, contain a one page map, a one page notebook and a guide on how to use a compass.
Download your map of choice (or choose both of them) and its accompanying notebook.
Print all the pages.
The map is ready to go (just remember to grab a compass and a coin).
To make the notebook, fold your piece of paper in half longways along the centre line with the writing.
Next fold your piece of paper in half again.
And that’s it, one mini notebook to take with you on your adventures and record your poems and notes.
If you haven’t used a compass for a long time, there’s also a quick guide to using a basic compass included in the downloaded file.
If you wish, you can share your poetry adventure on socials using the hashtags, #circusofsimiles and #printandplaypoetry.
Come back soon, the Circus is always here!
