Puppets

Puppets are a great way to add a new dimension to the classroom. The humour, colour and story that accompanies each puppet helps to make learning fun, often removing barriers to learning. The key benefits of using puppets relate to language, social and emotional development. Puppetry is one of the oldest forms of performing arts and is often used as a tool for exploring sensitive issues.  Teachers can do all that puppets can do… but the new voice, shape and character of a puppet provides a different aspect of learning that often makes learners more eager to participate in dialogue especially.
