About This Activity
This course is all about creative building, storytelling, and working together to make a TV Show! Over this hands-on course, children will build several types of puppets, and utilize film technology to bring their characters to life in a series of fun short skits. Think projects like The Dark Crystal to Sesame Street! Kidz explore different puppetry styles, creating several exciting puppets of their own, and learn to bring their character to life with basic puppet manipulation, voice acting, and interactive storytelling! Kidz will learn how important working together is when they help one another create scenes. Kidz work together to manipulate the movements of their puppet, while others film and act out the scene using their voice, as well as act in the skits themselves. Participants will experiment with various creative techniques to film these skits, using green screens and stop motion to name a few. After production wraps, children will take home the puppets they made, and an original Puppet show!
