Here are five Moving-Mouth Hand Puppets from Get Ready Kids plus an original puppet show script with Positive Behavior Support messages.
THE PUPPETS
The fun, versatile set includes a barnyard full of talking-puppet friends - Pig, Horse, Duck, Cow and Mouse. Think of all the puppet shows your child can stage. From PlushPups "Bigmouth" collection. These hand puppets all have moveable mouths to allow extra expression and versatility. Children will love exploring the different hand puppet mouth movements and puppet facial expressions they can achieve on these moving-mouth puppets. Embroidered features. These hand puppets are approximately 12" tall. Surface washable. PlushPups Puppets are made of durable fabrics.
MOVING-MOUTH PUPPET HINT - TALKING: With moving-mouth puppets, the natural tendency is to SHUT the puppets mouth with each syllable of the word. But people do the opposite, and so should puppets. It may take practice, but try to get the children to OPEN the puppet's mouth with each syllable.
THE SCRIPT
"Get in Line, One at at Time" is an original puppet show script that demonstrates the positive behavior support message of how the friends don't get anything done trying to all push at the same time, but come to understand the value of standing in line. The Creativity Institute writers have developed these scripts to be easy to perform while communicating a value lesson to the children. And we've thrown in enough humor to keep it interesting.
The script has five speaking parts for the five puppets in this set. This puppet show length is approximately 3-4 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, simulating walking, moving mouths, etc.
NOTE: THIS PUPPET SHOW SCRIPT AND STAGE DIRECTIONS WILL BE EMAILED AS PDF FILES.
