Form a circle with the class. Place the shadow play screen at one end of the circle. The children move the circle in one direction so that eventually each child will walk behind the screen. The other children in the circle can imitate these gestures. As they become more comfortable with it you can have them act like a rooster while standing behind the screen.
Paper puppets on a stick of a dog, a cat, and a smile face.
Gum and Rock Candy glued to 2 suspenders One puppet of a bee and one puppet of a bird Hand actions created by the class to use for the song. Two children stand in front of either side of the screen wearing the suspenders. Using the class hand motions act out the song Big Rocky Candy Mountain . Both of the two children will have one of the puppets to wave behind the screen when those animals are sung about in the song. You could have them pull the gum off the suspenders to chew and make bubbles with during the song.
