The Scripts
The scripts included in this set are original puppet show scripts that The Creativity Institute writers have developed to be easy to perform and a fun experience for children. They can also be acted by the children in a live performance.
The "Good News, Bad News" puppet show script incorporates 10 of the puppets in a humorous quick-moving skit. As each puppet encounters the next on the street, they exchange an original good news, bad news" joke. This puppet show length is approximately 5-6 minutes. Parts can easily eliminated to accommodate smaller numbers of performers.
The "Parents Day" puppet show script uses five of the occupation puppets in a humorous quick-moving skit in which parents have come to class to describe their jobs to the children. When something goes wrong, the class learns even more about occupations.. This puppet show length is approximately 2-3 minutes.
Also included with this puppet show script are puppet show stage directions that The Creativity Institute has put together to help staging more professional and enjoyable puppet shows, such as tips on simulating walking, etc.
