Using Puppets in the Classroom Webinar

Puppets are a fantastic and magical tool for the classroom. The webinar will outline ways in which you can use puppets effectively across the curricular areas. Puppets can help to increase attention, learning and are fun and engaging. Puppetry can help to improve upon communication skills, overcome language barriers, and teach self-control. The addition of a puppet to a child’s world can positively influence them to become more comfortable and open up to their world. Puppets can become an integral part of the classroom environment. They can be used to increase dialogue, modify inappropriate behaviour manage the classroom, or add an element of play to lessons. Puppets are widely recognized for their beneficial influence on learning and social development. Suitable for all class levels & SET.
