Purpose: (why is this exercise included in the lesson)
To tell the students a little bit about puppetry and peak their interests
3
puppets to other students until everyone is finished constructing
their puppet
7) Once everyone is done, then the class will be asked to sit in a
circle, and go around the circle introducing their puppet to the
class and then getting their puppet to say hi. (thereby having the
students practice moving the puppets mouth in time with their
own)
• Instructor will ask students how it felt to be the puppets and how
it felt to be the puppeteers for the game emotional puppets.
Instructor will also ask if the students felt connected to their
puppet, and if they found that putting on a play for their peers
was easier when the puppet was doing it as opposed to
4
themselves.
• Instructor will then ask class to take their puppet home with
them, and introduce their puppet to their mom, dad or caregiver.

• If none of those options are possible, the child might be asked to
be the judge of the class, and pick out the top three puppets for
each round.
