Move your arms and legs the way you think a puppet would if you had strings moving you from above. Walk across the room, sit, and shake hands. Can you brush your teeth like a puppet? Can you dance? Now, take turns being the puppeteer and puppet. Ask your grown-up to stand still unless you tap their arm or leg, or tell them to move. Now switch roles and you be the puppet. How are puppet movements different from your normal movements? What’s your favorite puppet move?
