Life problems can be acted out and possible solutions explored with puppet characters. Small children may lack the vocabulary to explain their fears or worries. Play therapy lets them act out their concerns.
Marionettes encourage creativity. Involve children in the characters. Make them part of the script. Ask kids to decide on the voice for a particular character. Make up stories, or let kids make up the story. Name characters for friends and family and incorporate current happenings in their life into a story. Let kids develop and control the sound effects.
Fun shows can be educational telling stories about life events and how to handle problems. Just like Sesame Street, puppets can be used to practice counting and reading skills. Songs and rhymes can be practiced and memorized with audience participation. Nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and favorite books come to life on the stage.
Operating marionettes takes great practice and skill. Professionals study and practice techniques for positioning, diction, voice projection and ventriloquism, and realistic body movement. Marionettes with animatronics can be controlled remotely with a hand held controller or via wifi. But all this isn't necessary to put on a fun show at home, school, or church. Amateur operators can still put on a great show and get lots of smiles and laughter from the audience.
