Try to remember who was promised a part for the second run-through. Children improvise dialog and movements. Children improvise dialog, and record it on the tape. The puppets are then used to act out the story as the tape is played. The leader is the narrator and the children manipulate the puppets to coordinate with the narration.
Someone reads the story from the Bible and puppets follow and fill in the dialog.
Children read lines from a script as they manipulate the puppets. Don't leave puppets laying on the floor where people can step on them. Don't bite anything with the mouth of the puppet - that will break and ruin the cardboard stiffener. Don't bang the puppets together. No food or drink in the puppet room.
