Ditto. ‘bad’ puppet ministry is dead…as should be. But we keep a closet full of them to be used, only, @ the right time, by the right people, & 4 the right audience.
Flip video is a willing and able friend.

There’s nothing like a round of Ticklish Rueben with old-funky looking puppets to draw a crowd of curious children in the middle of a third world country!

Other than that……I guess I don’t see a need for puppets.

we don’t use puppets for elementary ages either. the kids think it’s too baby. we have a quality puppet team for our preschoolers, though and they love it!

by the way, i hate puppets AND i hate crafts. There I said it! I feel so much better.

I’ve got to say, as our church’s preteen ministry coordinator, I HATE seeing people try to seat preteens (4-5 grade) in front of puppets. It’s like trying to teach a college course using flannelgraph. We’ve not abandoned using puppets, just made it more age-appropriate: for our 5 y/o and below.

The only way to get 4/5 graders to enjoy puppetry is if it’s done insanely irreverently, totally making fun of itself. As for 1-3 graders, you MIGHT be able to get away with it, but we’ve adopted KidMo! for the longest time, an entirely DVD-based curriculum. As for our preteens, we use Group’s Grapple. adjusted for our church.

Sam told me today that he uses puppets sometimes. It's a dirty old chicken puppet. Ha! .-= Kenny´s last blog ..Gateway story =-.

What no creepy Elmer Love? Ha. Funny you should post this. You must have gotten some death threats from the people over at OnewayPuppets. I can think of few things more creepy than a death threat from a puppet. Be honest. You hate puppets. We all know it. .-= Sam´s last blog ..Great Quote: Peter F. Drucker =-.

Ha! You don’t love puppets. I’ll let you borrow a yarn comb if you’d like.

So, if I had blue skin you wouldn’t trust me? Huh?

Well, puppets hate you too.
