YOU'RE FINALLY HERE! TEACHER PUPPET STICKS

You’re Finally Here! 

by Malanie Watt
Story Retelling 

TEACHER & CHARACTER SET

Unit Objectives: These puppets are designed for kinesthetic retelling and auditory recognition. By physically moving the characters the story is read, students develop narrative recall, language fluency, and social-emotional engagement.

Puppet Set Includes:

1. Easy Version: Character circles in black and white for students to color.

2. 1 Teacher Example: A full color set to serve as a visual guide for the finished product.

3. THIS SET HAS 6 TEACHER LARGE STICKS & 6 STUDENT SIZE TO COLOR

Directions:

1. First: Cut out the characters.

2. Second: Carefully cut out student character circle. For younger toddlers, the teacher may want to pre-cut these to focus entirely on the retelling aspect.

3. Third: Apply a small amount of glue to the top of a large stick (popsicle stick) student, Paint stirrer teacher.

4. Fourth: Press the character circle onto the glue and let it dry completely before use.

5. Teacher’s Idea: I highly recommend printing these puppets on card-stock. It is much sturdier for little hands and ensures the puppets will last through many story-time sessions!

I am selling this set at a reduced price so you can check out my work.

You’re Finally Here! 

by Malanie Watt

Theme: Welcome & Anticipation: Excitement, Impatience, and Classroom Belonging Focus: A wonderfully expressive, impatient bunny is thrilled that the reader has finally arrived, dramatically reacting to the long wait and making sure the reader promises to stay. This book is an exceptional back-to-school icebreaker for Pre-K and Kindergarten. It targets emotional expression, patience versus impatience, and building community enthusiasm.
