Principles to be observed in choosing a puppet play for teaching

•Do not use puppets for plays that can be done just as well or better by other dramatic means.•Puppet plays must be based on action rather than on words.•Keep the plays short.

•Do not omit the possibilities of music and dancing as part of the puppet show.•Adapt the puppet show to the age, background and tastes of the students.

-is an unrehearsed, unprepared and spontaneous dramatization of a “let’s pretend” situation where assigned participants are absorbed by their own roles in the situation described by the teachers

Role-playing

How is it done?   It can be done by describing a situation which would create different viewpoints on an issue then asking the students to play the roles of the individuals involved.

Advantages -Energizing activity / fun to do  -Allows participants to contribute actively - It is Time efficient  - Experiential learning is more powerful than instructions.  - It delivers complex concepts in a simple manner  - Needs little preparation for the teacher/facilitator

Disadvantages-Participants may be too shy and reluctant -Can be threatening to some -It can become ‘too much fun’ and disrupt the task -Participants can get too involved and loose objectivity -Participants can overact and show off . The observers may not observe well or take notes -The observers may take ‘sides’ based on their preconceptions
