Puppets and dialog

     Making puppets using Model Magic is fun and easy!  This year I reviewed characters and dialog using Mo Willems books.  The children formed the dough around their finger then pinched and pulled to make a puppet.  When they were dry, we painted the puppet characters with acrylic paints to make them a bit more sturdy.  We learned a bit about puppetry and how to use puppets.  Then, we thought of dialog that our puppets might say and how they would say it.  Finally, we wrote a line for our puppets.











     You can find details for this lesson and 19 other rich writing lessons for kindergarten students!


Enjoy!      Molly
