A Puppet Show Arlington TX Kids Participate In Has Many Important Benefits

By Carolyn Ross


Most kids have incredible imaginations. If you have ever witnessed your little ones playing with their favorite stuffed toy or doll, you know how elaborate and ingenious their make believe can be. The inanimate objects have names, histories, personalities, and good and bad character traits. Children love puppets and respond to them in much the same way. When you allow kids to create a puppet show Arlington TX teachers only supervise, you will see lasting benefits.

It made be hard for some to believe but there are many parents who don't actively encourage their children's imaginations. They believe that kids should understand early exactly what life is like so they won't be disappointed later on. In fact, an active imagination can save children from the realities of a harsh world. Puppets are a safe way for them to explore thoughts, feelings, ideas, and frustrations.

Not all kids are outgoing. Some are shy and introverted. Others are just naturally quiet individuals who keep their thoughts to themselves. Puppets can give these kinds of children a voice. When they are speaking through a character, it isn't as if the words are really their own. They may say things, and express opinions through puppets, that they would not express any other way. This helps them develop emotional maturity and confidence.

Some children, who aren't particularly adept with their hands, will improve motor skills while working with puppets. It may take time and some patience, but they will learn how to maneuver their puppets into certain positions and move them across the stage with ease. They will learn to move quietly behind the scenes so as not to distract from the performance.

Kids who lack social skills can get a lot out of puppetry. The ones who are shy about approaching their peers can talk to them through the puppets, and the children who ignore some of their classmates are forced to interact with them on the puppet stage. In the process, kids get to know one another and become more comfortable socializing.

Putting together puppet shows is one way to involve every member of the classroom and encourage active participation in a common goal. Not everyone is interested in puppets or wants to take an active role on stage. These kids can be taught the basic elements of design, creating backdrops and scenery. Allowing kids to change roles periodically will keep the projects fresh.

Reading, speaking, and language skills are improved when children work with puppets and put on their own shows. They have to learn how to communicate, speak clearly and enunciate their words. These shows are great ways to introduce complex concepts and help develop the children's ability to verbalize them.

Sometimes children need to become a different character, or to speak through a character like a puppet, in order to express difficult feelings or to overcome shyness and insecurities. Using puppets is a wonderful way to stimulate mental, physical, emotional, and creative development. Puppets can be fun and still be effective teaching tools.
