Here we ask a question about the puppets.
Question About Using Puppets in the Bible Classroom
What kind of puppets should be used?
If seeking to reenact a Bible story, obviously puppets designed to look like Bible characters would be most appropriate. (You’ll find these kinds of puppets at one of our affiliates: Bible Character Puppets)
If using puppets to pull out the implications and application of the lesson, puppets designed to look like the students, perhaps even ones they handmade of themselves, may work best. (You’ll find these kinds of puppets at one of our affiliates: Happy Kids Hand Puppets)
If merely wanting to interact with students, or tell a story from a different vantage point, any kind of people or animal puppet may be suitable. (You’ll find these kinds of puppets at one of our affiliate store: Animal Puppets or People Puppets)
The Bible Teacher’s Handbook of Frequently Asked Questions responds to three more questions about puppetry:
- Kids seem to love puppets so isn’t it good to always use them as the teaching method?
- How should puppets be used in the Bible classroom?
- Is it possible for puppets to become a distraction?
The handbook also looks at 48 other topics related to Bible teaching answering a total of 153 questions.
