TALK ABOUT IT - Conversation Starters:

Imagine a story that you could tell using puppets. What characters would be part of your play?
What might happen to those characters and how could they make an audience laugh?

LOOK FOR IT - Observations:

Look for a cozy place where the homemade puppets will hide behind the scene and pop up when it is time for them to talk to the audience.
