Abstract
In order for children to effectively participate in learning, their attention must be acquired and maintained. Teachers need to evaluate as many alternative educational means as possible to accomplish this result. The knowledge and encouragement of communication are also of paramount importance in the classroom. Puppets can be viewed as one audio-visual method for effectively progressing toward these goals. It has been suggested that puppets are capable of commanding attention and promoting communication through, not only their versatility, but also their ability to cross age and racial barriers. Thus, puppetry has .been viewed as a communicative tool throughout history.
