3. Dramatized Experiences

can range from the
formal plays, pageants to
less formal tableau,
pantomime, puppets
and role playing.

4. Plays depict life, character, or culture
or a combination of all three. They
offer excellent opportunities to portray
vividly important ideas about life.
Pageants are usually community
dramas that are based on local
history, presented by local actors. An
example is a historical pageant that
traces the growth of a school.

5. 
.
Pantomime and tableaux, when
compared to a play and a pageant, are
less demanding in terms of labor, time
and preparation. These are purely
visual experiences. A pantomime is the
“art of conveying a story through
bodily movements only”. (Webster’s
New Collegiate Dictionary). It’s effect
on the audience depends on the
movements of the actors.

6. A tableau (a French word
which means pictures) is a
picture like scene composed of
people against a background. A
tableau is often used to
celebrate Independence
Day, Christmas, and United
Nations Day.

7. Types of Puppet
Shadow Puppets – flat black silhouette
made from lightweight cardboard and
shown behind a screen.
Rod Puppets – flat cut out figures
tacked to a stick, with one or more
movable parts, and operated from
below the stage level by the wire rods
or lender sticks.

8.  Hand Puppets – the puppet’s head is
operated by the forefinger of the
puppeteer, the little finger and thumb being
used to animate the puppet hands.
 Glove-and-finger puppets – make use of
old gloves to which small costumed figure
are attached.
 Marionettes – flexible, jointed puppets
operated by strings or wires attached to a
cross bar and maneuvered from directly
above the stage.

9.  What principles must be observed in choosing
a puppet play for teaching? Dale, (1996)
quoting from the Puppeteers of America
offers many suggestions, among which are the
following:
Do not use puppets for plays that
can be done just as well or better
by other dramatic means.
Puppets plays must be based on
action rather than on words.

10. Keep the plays short.
Do not omit the possibilities of
music and dancing as part of the
puppet show.
Adapt the puppet show to the
age, background, and tastes of
the students.
