1. THE REVENGE OF THE TOAD


Gypsy folk tale (France)

TO WORK THE BOREDOM

What I am going to explain happened before man existed and dominated the Earth.
In
at that time, only the trees were always in the same place. The
rest of the living beings moved freely. Even the flowers went
to visit his friends the rabbits, the squirrels, the hedgehogs, the
birds and insects: all beings that walked, crawled or
they flew
Sometimes the fish joined them, because they could get out of the water. They all knew how to speak and understood each other.
One
night, in a clearing in the forest, a great party was held: the people
he told stories, and the birds gave a concert that went
followed by a dance. The squirrel danced with the thyme, the rabbits with
the carnations Each flower had its partner. Even a spider
he was playing with the dragonfly. There was much joy.
He
Toad, who had not been invited because he was very ugly, leaves
present anyway. He approached the tulip, but this one
he refused
They all began to play pranks on him and formed a circle around the poor toad, who began to get furious.
-You are horrible!, You are horrible!!! -snorted the owl. Animals and flowers pointed at him, repeating:
You are horrible! , You are horrible!
The toad lost his patience.
-You are very bad! - he shouted - I will take revenge on you!
And he swelled up in such a way that the poison from his skin shot out and splashed them all.
He
fish took refuge in the water, the birds disappeared among them
branches and flowers withered trying to hide underground.
I
since that night nothing was the same: the animals and the flowers no longer
they could talk and not understand each other. The flowers could not be moved from their place.
And the fish died as soon as someone took them out of the water. 
REFLECTIONS
CONTROL OF OWN EMOTIONS

1-    What emotions have we seen in the story?
2-    Do you think the animals and plants behaved well with the toad?
3-    Has the toad's reaction been excessive?
4-    What would you do if you were the toad?
5-    Is it always bad to get angry?
6-    We take different emotions and think:
       what i feel inside Can I change what I feel?
       What a face I put on Can I change the face?
What behavior do I have? Can I change the behavior?
7-
Two puppets fight. what happened before Why are they fighting?
How do they resolve the conflict? How have the characters felt before and
after?

Another puppet enters as they fight. How does everyone react? Let's improvise.

2. THE FIERCE WOLF AND THE BRAVE HUNTER



by Ana Maria Machado

TO WORK THE FEAR

Hi
once upon a time there was a boy who lived in a cabin in the woods, with his
father, who was a hunter, and his mother, who did everything: cooked,
she washed, ironed, cleaned, sewed, was bored and sighed.
I
once upon a time there was also a wolf who lived in a cave there
same forest, with all his family, because the wolves like it
to live in community, that is to say, in herd.
He
child played with other children who appeared there: the children of
lumberjack, the laundry line, the peddler's grandson, one
girl who sometimes got lost in the forest picking raspberries...
He
little wolf played with other wolves similar to him, brothers and
cousins, some of the same breed, some older, some older
little ones They had fun with games of rolling on the floor, rolling all over
sides…
A
sometimes, at night, the father or mother told stories to the child in the
fireplace. And these stories always had to do with the wolf
fierce He could talk about little pigs, Little Red Riding Hood and many more
other things; but you know, suddenly, a ferocious wolf appeared that
he growled, snorted, got angry, knocked down houses, and had big eyes
big and also a mouth so big that it only wanted to eat them
children
A
sometimes, also at night, in the cave, the little wolf would cost him
fell asleep and stayed listening to the stories that the older wolves
they explained to each other. And these tales always had one
bad hunter They could talk about clean streams, vast fields and
many other things; but you know, suddenly, a hunter appeared who
he set traps, he shot them, he skinned the wolves he had
killed
When the boy grew a little and could go out on his own, he asked for permission:
       Mom, can I play in the forest?
And his mother always answered:
- Of course you can, but be careful my son. Don't go too far. There might be a wolf out there.
When the wolverine grew a little and could go out on its own, he asked for permission:
       Mom, can I play in the forest?
Of course you can, but be careful my son. Don't go too far. There might be a hunter out there.
And they didn't go very far.
But
as they lived in the same forest and were growing, their steps were
longer and longer and they got closer and closer.
Until one day…
One day, the boy was distracted, a little far from home, and stepped on a dry branch that creaked.
Then,
the wolf, who was also there, distracted and a little distant from
home, he heard the rustling, was startled and growled. Yen
At that moment, the two turned and looked at each other.
Suddenly. face to face
Each
one put on one of the rarest faces anyone can put on: face of
fear, very afraid, real panic. And there were so many panicked faces
scary that the wolf ran off in one direction and the boy
took, also running, the opposite.
When he got home, the boy explained:
- I met a wolf in the forest, but he was so afraid to see me that he ran away.
Upon arriving at the cave, the wolf explained:
- I met a hunter in the forest, but he was so scared when he saw me that he ran away.
Those who heard them did not really believe what they said. But the most important thing is that they both believed it.
O
that seemed Because, since that day, when he wants to go to the forest, the boy
he puts his hands in his pockets and comes out whistling: "who fears the wolf
fierce…”
And when the wolf wants to stay awake for the night, he stretches his muzzle towards the moon and howls:
"he left, he ran away, it was me..."


REFLECTIONS

AWARENESS OF OWN EMOTIONS


  1. what is fear What do we notice physically? What goes through our heads? what do we feel
  2. What is fear like? Are children's fears and adults' fears the same?
  3. What experiences have you had in which you felt fear? What are we afraid of? How can we overcome it?
  4. Are there movies that scare us?
  5. Do the media tell us things that are scary? Which is ?
  6. Are we emitters of fear?
  7. Search
    different situations in which the puppets are afraid. How do they react?
    What do they do to feel good and not be afraid? Let's improvise

3. DANGER AT SEA



by Begoña Ibarrola

TO WORK JOY

This one
is the story of a sea horse that lived with his family in
a beautiful and quiet area of the ocean, surrounded by corals, sea urchins,
crabs and all kinds of fish and aquatic plants.
The
his life was going on placidly until one day the dolphin Ballarí came to them
give very worrying news. The dolphin summoned everyone
marine animals from that area to a meeting and when they all arrived the
he said:
       Friends,
I come from exploring the limits of our territory and I bring a horrible
news There is a big black spot in the sea that very soon, if the
winds do not change, it will reach here in two days.
They all looked at each other worried about the news. They should do something immediately.
Pepe,
the seahorse, had a great friend, a hermit crab called himself
Frank, with whom he often played hide and seek. That day instead of
play began to comment on the terrible news.
       What a shame - said Frank - I don't know what will happen to us, we will surely all die.

But the horse Pepet was more optimistic and answered him:
- Well,
it is not therefore, thanks to the Ballarí dolphin we found out in time. At least
we have two days before the stain gets here. We have to think about
some solution
while
they were thinking in silence they heard someone crying and, looking for where
came that cry, they met the Oyster Shell.
-What is wrong with you, Closcadura, why are you crying? - they asked him.
- I will die soon, there is no solution for me because I cannot move as fast as you - he answered.
The horse Pepet encouraged her:
-Don't worry, Closcadura, we'll help you, I'm sure we'll think of something.
In
Pepet thought that all problems have a solution, so when
a problem appeared, he began to think instead of despairing, like
others did On the other hand, old Frank, faced with a problem, thought
that there was no solution and he was sinking into despair.
He
little horse Pepet decided to take a walk to think better and went
to discover that some cried believing they could do nothing and others
they thought to find solutions, just like him. Without realizing it he leaves
quite far from his area and he heard someone calling him.
Pepet, what are you doing here? You are very far from your home.
It was the dolphin Ballarí, who had given them the fatal news.
-I'm thinking. I want to find some solution to be able to leave before the black spot arrives -he replied-
-But Pepet, you know that some animals and plants can't leave where they are, it would take them a long time to move.
The horse Pepet did not give up and kept thinking while he was carried away by the rhythm of the water.
- You're very big, Ballarí dolphin, and I'm very small and I can't carry anyone on top of me, but you can.
The dolphin listened intently as he thought that maybe it was a good idea.
- The Oyster
Shellfish, Frank the Crab and the other animals and plants that can't
move they could get on top of you. And how you are very fast swimming for sure
that you could make many trips, and thus save many animals and plants.
He
dolphin smiled: yes, that was a good idea, and he would ask the others
dolphins and whales to do the same. Instantly, without waiting
moreover, he swam away to look for them.
Pepet and Ballarí returned very happy to tell their friends the news.
-Closcadura, Frank, the Ballarí dolphin will take us a long way from here before the black spot arrives!!
They all shouted with joy and clapped for the dolphin, who was very happy to be able to help.
In the
next day, while the sun was rising over the sea, a group of dolphins
and whales concentrated in the area and were charging everyone
animals and plants that could.
In the evening they were very tired from so much travel from here to there but satisfied for having saved their companions and friends.
Now
the horse Pepet and the dolphin Ballarí can be seen playing together in an area of
the ocean of clean and crystalline waters, and the conversing Shell oyster
with Frank the Crab remembering the story of that black spot that one
day threatened their lives.
I
the most curious of all is that the two end up laughing and repeating at the same time:
"When there is a problem there is always a solution". That was what
they learned that day and will never forget it.


REFLECTIONS



RESILIENCE.



DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO GENERATE POSITIVE EMOTIONS



1. Have you ever had a problem? Which one? 


2. Did someone help you fix it? Who?

3.
Pepet is optimistic and thinks that all problems have a solution,
but Frank and Closcadura think differently. who do you look like
more you

4. What would you have done if you were one of them? Could you have come up with other ideas to save them?

5. You can draw some characters from the story

6. Would you like to change any part of the story or the ending?


7. Two puppets, one problem (it can be raised by the teacher or it can arise from the students themselves)

One of them finds a solution, the other doesn't. how do they feel A third puppet enters. Does it give them a solution? Let's improvise.

The spectators will observe with a creative eye and we will surely find a solution for the puppets.

4. WHAT HAPPENS TO MUGÁN?



by Begoña Ibarrola

TO WORK THE SADNESS

In
the jungle of Taimán, the animals had time for everything: time for
work, time to eat, time to sleep, time to play and one
time in which each family of animals gathered and did not eat, nor
they didn't sleep, they didn't play, they didn't work: they only devoted this time to
to be together and to talk about any issue that concerned them or any of them
matter that affected the members of the group.
The
family of monkeys was very numerous and chief Torunga took care of them all
as if he were a loving father, but he got very angry if any member
of the group did not carry out his orders or if someone wanted to command more than him.
In
this group included the monkey Miranda and the monkey Tobías, who had two
sons who were called Tumbi and Tumbe. In addition, Mugán was with them
and Ciro, two young monkeys, and a young and orphaned monkey called Carinda.
everyone
he knew what he had to do at every moment, but Mugán, when he arrived
when he was having fun, he would sit on a branch
pensive, while his companions jumped, played or hung their heads
down seeing everything upside down.
When they went to bathe in the river, he would stay on the bank watching them having fun and throwing water at each other.
When it came time to eat, Mugán didn't show that he was hungry and the food they offered him was most appetizing.
Yes
it was time to work picking fruit and cutting branches or cleaning weeds
herbs in the common area, Mugán was showing tiredness and it was obvious that he wasn't
he worked with enthusiasm.
One afternoon, Chief Torunga brought everyone together in the time dedicated to sharing and talking, and proposed the following:
       Mugan:
We don't know what's wrong with you, but we're all worried about you.
You hardly eat, you look tired at work and you do it reluctantly. The
what surprises us the most is that you don't want to play with others or have fun.
We want to know what's wrong with you. Do you want to explain it to us?
Mugán turned red, which is very unusual for a monkey, and said no, shaking his head.
-It is
well - said Torunga - each of us will think of some reason for the
that you can be sad and tomorrow we will meet again to hear the opinion
of all. When you let me know what's wrong with you, we'll find a way to help you. use
does it look good
Everyone
they replied that it was a good idea and when the time of the
meeting they continued with their daily tasks while thinking about the
possible cause of Mugán's sadness.
The next day in the afternoon the whole group gathered to talk and share. Chief Torunga said:
-How
you know, each of you can tell us why you think that en
Mugán is sad, and as always the youngest member of ours will start
group
In
Tumbi straightened up in his seat. He felt very proud to be
the first to speak and for everyone to listen carefully. I knew that
in other animal families it was not so. The little one hardly knows
he didn't ask anything, much less was he asked for his opinion.
- I think that Mugán is sad because he doesn't like this place, he likes where we lived before.

Very good observation, Tumbi - said Torunga. For being so small
you have already realized that sometimes changing the place to live does not
everyone likes it equally. I still remember the mountains where
we lived before, but I also remember hunters and fires. was
very dangerous to continue living in that beautiful place - said Torunga
making a sad face-. And you, Tumbe, what do you think?

I think he is sad because he is not as agile as us. The other
day we laugh at him because he fell from the tree when jumping from one
branch to the other and we called him "clumsy monkey".
-Too
it can be a reason - said Torunga - although I think you all know that
each monkey has different abilities. Some are better at jumping, a
others to find food, to warn others of dangers, to others
others cook...Mugán is a magnificent forager of fruits and berries, and
thanks to him we eat these foods that we like so much, isn't it
true?
Everyone
they nodded and looked at Mugán to see if his face changed
pay him a compliment and speak well of him, but he remained silent without saying
nothing. It seemed that this was not the reason for his sadness.
       Let's see Ciro, give us your opinion.
       - I think that Mugán is sad because he likes Corinda and she doesn't pay attention to him.
The whole group looked at Mugán and then at Corinda. She turned red up to her ears and said nothing.
       And you, Corinda, what do you think?
       
I think Mugán feels a little lonely and thinks we don't pay attention to him.
The other day he got very angry and said that we never leave him time for
to talk. He's partly right because I talk a lot and so do everyone else
talkative When he starts talking we tend to interrupt him because he is
slower explaining things. Maybe he's sad about it.
       
Very well Corinda, you yourself have realized how bad it is
can feel someone when they are not listened to respectfully. Yes when Mugán
talk don't leave him, it's only logical that he feels bad.
       And you Miranda, who are like his mother, give us any ideas?
       
I think he's sad because I don't pay much attention to him and he may think I don't
I love him. As Tumbi and Tumbe are still small, I'm really looking forward to it
of them. Mugán is already old but maybe he needs my attention too
affection I will be waiting for you more, Mugán - he said approaching him and
giving him a kiss.
       Mugán remained silent and downcast.
       
Tobías, you are like a father to Mugán. You welcomed him very well when he went
come run away from the mountains. What do you think could happen to him?
       i believe
that he is getting older and asking a lot of questions. I don't give them to him
answers and I tell him that when he grows up he will understand everything. Maybe that's it
what he doesn't like
Torunga got up and addressed everyone and thanked them.
       Everyone
You have provided good ideas and I am very grateful. This shows that in
our group every member is important and we all want to help. But me
looks like Mugán needs to talk while we take a walk in the woods.
They all got up and continued with their occupations.
Torunga put his arm around Mugán's shoulders and the two of them started walking towards the forest.
past
after a while the two appeared again. Torunga, finally, had
discovered what was happening to Mugán and had given him very good advice.
Mugán was smiling again

REFLECTIONS
EMPATHY

1. What do you think is happening to Mugán the monkey? Why is he sad?

2. If you had been part of Mugán's group, what would you have said to Chief Torunga?

3. If you were Mugán, which opinion do you think is more correct?

4. Do you take time every day to talk and share the things that happen to you with those around you?

5. Would you like to live in a family of monkeys and in the jungle? Because?

6.
Mugán can feel sad for various reasons. It seems that he has
explained to Torunga in the forest. When you are sad, you tell them
your parents or your friends?

7.
Mugán has no parents but Tobías and la welcomed him very well
Miranda. Do you know a child who is sad about not having parents?

8. You can draw Mugán's family, himself or Chief Torunga.


9. A puppet is sad because: 
– He didn't bring the sandwich for breakfast
- His dog has died
- He has no friends
-etc…
We look for sad situations.
Two or three puppets come in and try to comfort him. Let's improvise.
