II International Conference on Education and Puppets 2010
Construction workshop: Fish Puppet (Work on the puff)

A
from this puppet a series of activities can be carried out
respiratory gymnastics by sniffing so that children have
good control of this function so important for a correct
phonation.
- Discover the possibilities of the buf:
- We can play to see what happens when we blow several things with the fish: a Air, Against Objects, Papers, Into Water,…
- Discovery of the intensity of the blow:
- We open our hands and place them in front of the fish. We are going to blow very hard, very hard. Do you notice the wind on your hands?
- Now let’s blow very soft, very soft. Do you notice the soft air on your hands?
- Now let’s blow hard and loose.
- With a container of water we can try to blow hard and loose.
- If we add soap we can try to make bubbles. What if we blow hard? What if we blow lightly?
- Discovery of the position of the lips in the puff:
- Let's blow it up and down.
- We can
explain to the children that we are going to blow by removing the lower lip and
putting it on top. So, great! What happens now? - Discovery of the force of the blow:
- A
through the fish we are going to blow papers. We put the children in front
of a table with his hands behind his back. Papers are placed on the table
scattered. At a signal, each child blows the papers until he or she leaves
the clean table. - Discover the rhythm of the buf:
- By making soap bubbles we can play to see who holds the bubble longer in the mouth of the fish.
- And now, let's see who makes the most bubbles?
- Discovery of the directionality of the buf:
- By making soap bubbles, we can try to keep them from falling to the ground by blowing them up. Let's see who gets it !!
