The Carnival of the Animals – Finger Puppet Activity in Spanish

This is a printable activity in Spanish. It is designed to support listening and storytelling during music lessons. The content is based on the classical music suite “The Carnival of the Animals” by Camille Saint-Saëns.

The material includes finger puppets that represent each animal in the music. The puppets come in two formats: one in color and one in black and white. Students can use the color version or color their own puppets before cutting and assembling them.

The resource also includes printable backdrops. These can be folded and used as a small stage for storytelling. There is also a printable pocket. Students can cut and fold the pocket and glue it into a folder or notebook. This helps keep the materials organized and easy to reuse in future lessons.

The activity is useful for music classes, storytelling, and craft time. Students can move the puppets while listening to the music. They can also act out simple scenes, retell the story, or create new ones.

All instructions are in Spanish, and the activity is meant for teachers who work with Spanish-speaking students or for use in Spanish-language learning environments.
