Under the Sea Puppet Workshop
Great for your unit on Ocean Life!

Join Emerald City Theatre teachers as they lead kids in creative drama and theatre exercises that bring sea animals to life! Teaching Artists will perform a puppet show based on Swimmy by Leo Lionni (selected by Chicago Public Library as part of the Book Splash summer 2005 reading program). Then the Participants will get on their feet and recreate the story through a variety of theater games using the puppets. They will learn how to use voice and body and imagination to bring characters to life. Kids can even dive into a treasure trunk of professional theatre costumes props and puppets!
