Putting on a Puppet Show

Find out how to put on a puppet show with these top tips from puppeteer Julia.

Top Tips

  • Decide what your puppet show is about. Choose a simple story and get your friends and family to join in.

  • Think about your puppet voice. What does your puppet sound like?

  • Put your puppet centre stage so it grabs the audience's attention.

  • Project your voice so your audience can hear you.

  • Record your show. Ask someone to use a camera, tablet or smartphone to record your puppet show so that you can watch it back.

Pro-tip: You can help your little one to make their own puppet using something as commonplace as an old sock or a paper plate.
