Puppet and story corner activity
Guild rank: apprentice — Partly checked
The quest
A puppet is the cheapest way to get a whole group talking, because the talking belongs to the puppet rather than to the child holding it. Three or four puppets is plenty: one for you, and enough for a group to pass around without a fight. Sit with your back to the window so everyone can see the face. A story book beside the box lets a child re-tell a story they have just watched, which is the step that makes it literacy rather than theatre.
