Cool Tech Tool: Sock Puppets
Sock Puppets
Sock Puppets can be used across contents and grade levels. This app is fun and easy to use for storytelling and creating! Below are a few ideas for how Sock Puppets might be used in your classroom.
Students/teachers can create puppet shows to:
- Explain a science concept.
- Retell a story.
- Tell about an event from history.
- Share information about a famous person.
- Model appropriate social behavior.
- Tell jokes. (Knock-knock jokes work well!)
