The Hand Puppet - A Unique Teaching Tool
Using a hand puppet in puppet skits is entertaining - fun, imaginative play. Hand puppets can be used as wonderful educational tools.
"The most commonly used form of teaching with puppets is using them with literature units. However, the versatility of puppets makes them useful when teaching manners, socialization, Bible verses and other basic educational skills." Quoted from EHow.com
Hand Puppet Control
When hand puppets have speaking parts in puppet skits, they should move
from side to side so viewers will know which one is doing the talking. In puppet shows with more than one puppet, puppets who are not speaking should not move, allowing the audience to know which one is talking at that particular time.
