Talking with Puppets
The Teaching Ideas Website provides instructional strategies and resources for literacy, math, science, geography, history, art, music, physical education, and more.
This resource suggests using puppets to improve listening and speaking skills. Puppets provide a entertaining, non-threatening, hands-on approach to practicing receptive and expressive language skills. By brainstorming questions with students, a teacher can target grammar and vocabulary standards as well. This strategy can be used during whole group instruction, small group instruction, and in cooperative groups.
