Suggested post-visit activities:

English:

  • recognise story structure and themes, such as the triumph of good over evil or the use of magical devices in fairy stories and folk tales
  • re-tell the story; orally, through written work, pictures or movement
  • predict what happens next in the story.

We hope to inspire schools in puppetry, providing the potential for children to:

  • work collaboratively in groups
  • be engaged in a wide range of curriculum based learning, including:
    • Art and design – manipulation of a wide variety of materials including textiles
    • Design and technology – exploration of the working characteristics of materials and how mechanisms can be used in different ways
    • Science – design and make an electrical series circuit for theatre lighting, exploring light and shadows
    • Speech and drama – performing with puppets also supports PSHE, as children gain confidence, overcoming shyness as they identify with their character
    • Music – improvise and compose music for performance
