Finger puppets - The Mayas - People in History
Social Studies, First Peoples (Native), Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities
Finger puppets: The Mayas - Bringing the past to life - People in history This material provides you with templates for making finger puppets on the subject of the Mayas. The finger puppets are a varied and interactive addition to the topic of people in history. They help pupils to discover and understand historical content in a creative and playful way. The finger puppets are suitable for science and history lessons in grades 3, grades 4, grades 5 and grades 6. The finger puppet templates are available in two versions: one in color and one in black and white. The students can design the black and white templates themselves, for example. With the colored templates , you can quickly create a finger puppet set that you can give to the students to play with. To store it in the binder, the students can make a bag. For the finger puppet show, I have also added suitable backdrops. Uses The finger puppets can be used in various ways in the classroom to internalize what they have learned and deepen their understanding or promote their creativity. For example: Role plays: The students act out scenes from the respective historical context. Dialogues: The students create dialogues between different characters of the respective era with the finger puppets. Inventing stories: The students develop their own stories with the finger puppets and develop the factual topics as a background. Presentations: The students prepare presentations about the respective epoch, using the finger puppets as a visual aid. Group work: Students can work in groups and create scenes or stories together with the finger puppets. This promotes collaboration and social learning. You can find many more of my finger puppets at TeachSimple. For example, finger puppets for biblical stories, fairy tales or people in history. Best regards Your Die Relitante Doreen Blumhagen
