Whether you use shadow puppets or marionettes, put on a fanciful puppet show with these tips.

Step 1: Decide on script
Decide on the puppet show script you wish to use. Write your own dialogue for a creative, personalized touch, or use an already-written script.

Tip
Puppet show scripts are available online.

Step 2: Create puppets
Choose the type of puppets you want to use. Simple sock puppets are easy to make, and hand puppets are available at stores and online.

Step 3: Build a stage
Build your puppet theater. Consider cutting, painting, and decorating a large cardboard box, or building a stage and set out of wood.

Tip
Make sure the stage and props are built to scale, based on the size of your puppets.

Step 4: Rehearse
Gather your performers and run through the puppet show. Rehearse using your character’s voice and movements.

Step 5: Entertain your audience
Set up a curtain behind the stage, so you can hide it during the performance, and your audience can stay focused on the puppets. If performers make a mistake, improvise. Take a bow at the end.
