Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Puppets can be an engaging and useful way to help students develop emotionally and grow their language and communication skills.

Puppets allow children to engage in imaginative play that differs from dolls and other figures.

Children have the opportunity to bring puppets to life in a unique way. While using puppets, children are able to project their own emotions onto the puppet. Research suggests that children view puppets more like a peer than an adult, so their interactions with puppets match that feeling. This makes children more likely to explain their ideas and answers to a puppet than to the adult operating the puppet. Just as children are more likely to listen to or talk to a peer, that same feeling applies to puppets.

Research shows that using puppets in education has many benefits, especially with language skills. Children can practice their oral speaking skills by telling a story to a puppet or explaining words or expressions.

Puppets can help shy students feel comfortable speaking in front of the class because the puppet is answering, not them

Puppets offer our children an opportunity to develop their motor skills too. We have in our class, a student with motor skills difficulties, and the use of these types of activities with puppets would be of great help since wearing a puppet helps with dexterity and using fingers to manipulate the puppet improves fine motor coordination.
