How to Use Puppets at Circle Time

In this information-packed training, you’ll learn…

Puppets are a great addition to your circle times for many reasons! In this training you’ll learn how to get started with your first puppet if you’ve never used one before. For those who have already tapped into the fun puppets bring, you’ll hear tips and tricks shared by both Jocelyn and the group to make even more out of your puppet time.

Be sure to download and print the PDF “Meet My Puppet” just below the training video. It’s a great way to get clear on your puppet’s identity before heading into the class.

Cheryl’s daughter who is in Kindergarten got in on the fun too! She named her puppet and came up with some pretty great characteristics! It just might be a project you’d want to try with your class. Check out her puppet inside the Facebook Group. While you are there, make a post and introduce your puppet!

In the training, you’ll hear one of our awesome members, Magda, tell us about two puppet books she loves. In case you would like to check them out, the links to them are below.
