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.

There are always parents who argue that allowing children to live in a world of imagination is setting them up for failure. When they find out the truth about their favorite myths, it is traumatic and creates a fundamental distrust when it comes to the adults who lied to them. In fact, imaginative play is empowering and important for all children. It is their private world and has no limitations.

Not all kids are extroverts. Some are internal and shy. Other children just like to play quietly by themselves and seem to live in their own little world. Puppets are great outlets for these children. Speaking through puppets allows them to say things they are shy about expressing in their own voices. Kids can express their opinions and ask questions as a puppet character they would be too shy to ask as themselves. Puppetry is a great to tool for developing emotional maturity.

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.

It's not always easy being a kid. Some seem to breeze through childhood while others struggle. Puppetry is a great way to allow all children to discuss how they are feeling and what they think through the voice of a character. Teachers see a difference in the way kids respond mentally, physically, emotionally, and creatively. The students learn life lessons while having lots of fun.
