Instructions for Writing a Puppet Show Script

• 1. Choose a theme or topic for your puppet show. This could be a fairy tale, a historical event, or something completely original.
•  
• 2. Create a list of characters for your puppet show. Consider giving each character their own personality and characteristics to make them more interesting.
•  
• 3. Write a plot for your puppet show. This should include the beginning, middle, and end of the story. Consider including a problem or conflict that the characters must overcome.
•  
• 4. Develop the dialogue for your characters. Write out what each character will say during the puppet show. Make sure the dialogue is appropriate for the age group of your audience and fits the personality of the character.
•  
• 5. Add stage directions to your script. These should describe the actions of the puppets and any other elements of the puppet show (e.g. sound effects, props).
•  
• 6. Review and revise your script. Make sure the plot is clear and the dialogue flows naturally. Consider asking someone else to read through the script and give feedback.
•  
• 7. Practice performing the puppet show with your puppets to make sure everything runs smoothly. Make any necessary adjustments to the script or puppets.
•  
• 8. Perform your puppet show for an audience!
