How to Teach Poetry With Animal Puppets
As we know, in the early years, poetry education focuses on listening to, reciting and performing poems. Also, it’s important to have heaps of fun exploring chants, rhymes and songs.
Finger puppets are perfect for little hands to invent simple narratives and poems, and you can use these adorable animals to bring songs, chants and simple rhyming poetry to life!
Want to take your poetry puppet work deeper? We suggest you pair them with our Poetry Prompt Task Cards!
