This study aimed at evaluating the use of relational psychomotricity in circus activities taught to first graders in Physical Education classes. The methodological procedure of this study was a pedagogical intervention research-type. Seventeen 6-7-year-olds (six girls and eleven boys) participated in the study. One of the boys was physically impaired since he had no left arm. Data collected by observation, filming and a focus group were subject to the Discursive Textual Analysis with the use of three software programs (WebQDA, Excel and image editing). Results show that relational psychomotricity supports the introduction and development of circus activities and collaborates on better pedagogical use of this teaching object in formal Education.

Keywords : Education; Physical Education; Circus Activities; Cultural-historical Psychology.
