How Should Your Puppets Tell Their Story?

One of the units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology. Students in groups write a short story with a message before designing and making the puppets and theatre that can be used to tell the story.

Planning the production is an important part of the activity, with the performance as its climax.

The message students deliver could be for younger children to help them learn about road safety, keeping teeth clean, healthy eating, not playing with fire and so on. Alternatively the message could be for the same age group as the children themselves and deal with issues such as saving endangered species or problems of bad behaviour at school.
