The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats – Finger Puppet Set

The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats – Finger Puppet Set

This resource includes finger puppets and materials for the fairy tale The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats. It is designed for early elementary students. The material supports storytelling and reading activities in a creative way.

What is included:

• Finger puppet templates (in color and black-and-white)

• A printable pocket to store the puppets

• Printable backdrops for the puppet play

• Step-by-step instructions for cutting and folding

• Ideas for classroom use

How to use:
Students cut out the puppets and fold them. They can use the gray areas to glue the puppets together. Each puppet fits on a finger. The puppets can be stored in the included pocket. Students can also cut out and fold the backdrop to create a small theater stage.

Learning goals:

• Practice reading and retelling the story

• Improve reading fluency through role play

• Support fine motor skills with cutting and folding

• Encourage imagination and creativity

• Promote speaking and listening skills

Classroom ideas:
Use the puppets in small groups or during story time. Let students act out the story after reading. They can also use the puppets to create their own dialogues. The backdrops help set the scene for the puppet show.

Preparation:
Print the templates for each student or group. Choose the colored version for quick use. Choose the black-and-white version if students should color the puppets themselves. Print the pocket and backdrop on heavier paper if possible. Have scissors and glue available.

Target group:
This material is for students in grades 1–3. It is suitable for English language learners. It works well in reading lessons, fairy tale units, or language support classes.

Tip:
The puppets and backdrops can be reused. Store them in student folders or classroom centers.
