Puppetry can be used as an educational tool to motivate students and teach lessons through stories in an entertaining way. Various types of puppets include string, shadow, stick, and hand puppets. Puppet shows should have short dialogues, tell a story through actions rather than words, and introduce the problem at the beginning and solution at the end. Puppets can be manipulated on a simple stage or tabletop and require only a few characters to be effective while keeping students engaged.
