Puppets are small figures of people or animals that can be
moved. The puppeteers, the people moving the puppets, often talk for the puppets, too.

Puppet shows tell stories just like plays and movies that have people as the characters.

If you want to do a puppet show, you should decide on the characters, story and setting and then create a scenario. Of course you’ll have to make the puppets and maybe even the backdrop.
