The Etzim classroom likes to begin the exploration of each holiday with puppets. As the children decorate their puppets, it provides an opportunity for us to have some in-depth, small-group discussions about who these people were and the roles they played in the story. The children then take their puppets home to use as prompts when retelling the story to their family. Our exploration of Passover began on Monday when Steve told the story of Passover for the first time using his many fantastic puppets.
What a great idea! I bet seder tables all around Needham will be filled with puppet shows! The grandparents will love it!
