Description
Puppeteering is a skill that demands and encourages creative verbal skills, hand-eye co-ordination and teamwork. Even the shy student is released to become engaged and creative. Lynn Baskind brings along bags of muppets, rod puppets and hand puppets of all sizes. She playfully teaches puppeteering skills. Everyone participates in creating amusing short scenes and plays. The content of the program is specifically adapted to age level. Students are having such fun that they hardly realize that they are building literacy skills and enhancing impromptu speaking and presentation skills. Lynn is a former High School Math and English teacher and brings with her a vast experience as a drama teacher, puppeteer, and edutainer. Lynn has made or modified all her puppets and demonstrates these visual arts puppet-making techniques with students. She hopes to inspire students to continue being inventive and creative with puppets. Everyone loves this memorable, dynamic, inspiring experience. It is filled with fun and laughter and encourages creative communication skills. Visit Lynn's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/lynnbaskind/
