Activity Six - Animal Stick Puppets

 

Description: Sensory and fine motor skills, identifying the corresponding animals

​

Materials:

1. Glue

2. Animal Cut Outs

3. Popsicle Sticks

4. Crayons, Markers

5. Scissors

Inquiry: To identify basic animals that the children have seen In books, movies, and previous activities.

​

Objective/Outcome: This learning plan is incorporated to support basic learning skills. My hope is for the children to use this activity and create it into something new (e.g. a puppet show).

​

Language:   "The animal is a big elephant!"
 

​

Reflection: Overall, this activity was an enjoyable experience because the children were so invested in taking initiative and learning how complete the task by themselves. The children were communicating with each other and helping their peers out if they were stuck. I was asking plenty of questions and I received a great amount of feedback. The children enjoyed making the sounds of each animal and they were making more than one puppet.
