PUPPETS & DRUMS!
Laughter and fun are part of the plan as participants explore and experience activities
implementing puppets and drums. Butterfly Puppet Theatre includes demonstrations of
various puppet styles, manipulation exercises, and specific ideas on work and play
between puppets, children, and adults. Drums Alive combines simple dynamic movements
with pulsating rhythms of the drums. Movement, sequential patterning, repetition, and
rhyme are tools to bring the Drums Alive in your classroom.
