Hello my little kids!! I really enjoyed making puppets with you all!! Why do you think puppets are excellent resources for teaching English to children?

  1. I think the puppets are excellent resources for learning and having fun creating them, besides the imagination of children growing at the time of its implementation, because they can decorate as they wish. Puppets stimulate your visual and auditory perception and establishing a puppet conversation to children and that is causing interest in children, is an excellent teaching resource as this theatrical activity allows children to talk, improve their language and enrich their vocabulary Taking into account that education today suggests that each child owns their own learning =)

  2. hey teacher. well, as Meryam said: puppets are a good resource for teaching kids. it doesnt matter if the puppet isnt made by them. but according on how you (puppet master) speaks or interact with the kids the may or may not learn words. you guys will see how puppets will caught you atention on our next class. i heard that we`ll use our puppets. btw, my puppet`s eye is broken so i need glue. who can give me glue? =`(

  5. Hi michi, he he he, last forum i did not say hi to you and you got angry, i am saying hi to you now =) by the way, let me tell you that you are totally right. Puppets are excellent resources to teach kids not only English, but anything you want to, and that is because puppets are a kind of toy and kids love toys. Besides that, when you are teaching children through things they like the most the learning purspuse gets faster into them, that resources catch their eyes right away and about the 2nd question, what it comes to my mind is illustrated tales, specially Fairy tale or what kids want, how so? well, my primary teacher taugh me to create nice stories created by myself, we bring lots of pictures, crayons, glue, among others and we created the story with that resources, then we told the story using our imagination, of course we did not write the story because we did not know how to write, we just watch the pics and told the story in our way, it was nice and a home-made resource. =) see ya¡

  6. hello hello hellooooooooooooooooooooo...ups!!! sorry this is for the classroom! dieguin don't worry, my dog ate part of my puppet :( of course,puppets are excellent resources to teach children. because first of all they can enjoy making their puppets and later the teachers can create situations like dialogues or a short monologue in which children can participate using their puppets. It is a funny way to teach and learn ;)

  10. Hi...don't worry teacher I did it already! Well, other resource could be to create a short and simple dictionary, each child draws a fruit, an animal, a number, whatever, it will depend on the vocabulary that the teacher will teach, that way the children will enjoy drawing and painting , Then when the drawings are ready, they write the name of his drawings, at the end they join all the pictures, it means all the work and the dicctionary will be ready. this activity can be made at home or in the classroom =)

  11. I think the puppets are great resources to apply to children as they make the children show their creativity at the same time to create an atmosphere of camaraderie, sharing material to make a funny puppet

  12. hello friends I think the puppets are very good for teaching and learning, through the puppets the kids have fun and do something nice for their learning. I agree with meryann teaching with puppets gives children a lot of interaction between them, they can fly with their imagination to create situations where they can use the vocabulary already learned in class or the use of songs with the puppets would be a good way to caught their (students) attention.

  20. Hello friends!!! I think the puppets are a fun way to teach because the children can express their emotions and feelings through a character created by them or given by the teacher.It is also a magical game where creativity and humor helps children that students do not fear to speak in English or in any other language.:)

  21. jajajaja today as I learned more about teaching with puppets is a very dynamic way to teach new words and they play each other using the new vocabulary not exceeding the number of words depending on the level you're teaching ... well I'm not very good with voices, jjejej; (I think no good to teach kids, but made an attempt byee ... ahhh I really liked the presentation of isma and miguel jajaja

  27. I'M GONNA WRITE THE FOLLOWING IN SPANISH JUST IN CASE!!

    ¡CREO HABER SIDO MUY CLARA HACE 15 DIAS QUE AYER (MARTES 2) ERA LA PRESENTACIÓN DE LOS COMPAÑEROS QUE DEBÍAN RECUPERAR Y EL RESTO TENÍA QUE ASISTIR PARA PARTICIPAR EN LOS JUEGOS Y CANCIONES! DE HECHO, HASTA LO PUBLIQUÉ EN EL BLOG, PERO VEO QUE NI ESO HAN RIVISADO YA QUE ME DECEPCIONARON!! SOLO 3 PERSONAS ASISTIERON! ¡LES RECOMIENDO QUE PRACTIQUEN EL CONCEPTO DE LA PALABRA COMPAÑERISMO, QUE POR CIERTO USTEDES MENCIONAN TANTO PERO SOLO CUANDO LES CONVIENE!

    ADEMÁS, TAMBIÉN TENIAMOS QUE PONERNOS DE ACUERDO PARA TODO LO QUE HARÁN Y LLEVARÁN (ACTIVIDADES Y REFRIGERIO FINAL) EL MARTES 8 AL ANFITEATRO B EN LOS PEROZO.¡RECUERDEN QUE SERÁ UN EVENTO ABIERTO AL PÚBLICO DURANTE TODA LA MAÑANA E IRÁN NIÑ@S ASI QUE NO PUEDEN IMPROVISAR! POR LO TANTO, LES AGRADEZCO QUE EL VIERNES 4 ASISTAN A COSTA NOVA A LA HORA DE LITERATURA ANGLOSAJONA PARA QUE SEPAN LO QUE DEBEN LLEVAR Y ME MUESTREN LO QUE PIENSAN HACER EN SU CLASE DE 15 MINUTOS.
