A BAD CASE OF THE TATTLE TONGUE TEACHER & STUDENT PUPPET STICKS

A Bad Case of the Tattle Tongue 

by Julia Donaldson

Story Retelling Puppets

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.

Directions:

1. First: Color the character circles. Encourage students to use colors that match the characters found in the book to build visual association skills.

2. Second: Carefully cut out teacher character circle. Tor 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 used for teacher sticks.

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!

Teacher Idea: I recommend printing this craft on card-stock. It is much longer-lasting and makes it easier for little hands to The strip back and forth without tearing the paper!

I have included a page for student to draw and trace.
