Abstract This article presents a theoretical research based on a literature review on the clown in Physical Education classes at school. Reviewed articles were published in journals evaluated by the Qualis Capes system. The objective was to verify whether there is the presence of the clown, and how the clown is presented in these articles. The reviewed sample included scientific productions that addressed circus activities in Brazilian Physical Education programs, published between the years 2010 and 2019. Fifty publications were found, of which 10 address the clown, in 5 of them the clown was developed as one of the contents of the classes. Further references in texts the word clown was only quoted. Therefore, this linear development of historical contexts and possible scenic clown games serves as background proposal to be worked on in Physical Education classes.
