Activity Idea: Telling a Story with Puppets

Here's an activity called Telling a Story with Puppets that encourages children to use complete and more complex sentences as well as to listen attentively to their fellow classmates. This activity doesn't require many materials: puppets and story suggestions. Be sure you have several story suggestions for the chilren before starting this activity.
Let's Begin!
1) Give the child an opportunity to create a story using puppets. When children can pretend to be someone else, they often concentrate on using complete sentences and creating a verbal structure.
2) To lessen the pressure, it is sometimes better for the child to have just one additional child listening to the story.

3) You may need to offer suggestions to help the child begin the story.
4) Another option is to have a pair of children work as partners in tell a story. Each child can be a different character in the story.
