Shadow Show (and Tell) and a little puppet show too!

I can't begin to tell you what fun my family had with this activity. We did Shadow Show and Tell at least 50 times, some shadow puppet shows, and plenty of fun just being silly behind the curtain.

The curtain was hung from the ceiling, and our overhead projector was set up on a table behind us.

Each person had a box of items. They would choose one to cast shadows onto the curtain as they described what it looked like.

The people in front of the curtain would try to guess what the object was.

This was an awesome activity.

 

Here are some of the benefits:

Descriptive language development

Speaking and listening skills

Learning to ask questions

 

Here is a video of them in action:

 

And here is a free little puppet show for y'all ...

 

LOL. Have fun!
