Some of the materials, resources, and digital tools for involving children in drama and puppetry include:
1. **Conventional Materials**:
- Puppets (sock, finger, or hand puppets)
- Props and pieces of costume (scarves, hats, toys)
- Role-play scripts and books
- Puppet-making kits for making individual puppets
2. **Art Supplies":
- Supplies to create puppets (felt, fabric, markers, glue, scissors)
- Cardboard, paper, and paint to construct set and stage for puppets
3. **Digital Technologies**:
- Apps on mobile devices to tell digital stories (e.g., Toontastic, Puppet Pals)
- Interactive whiteboards to develop and act out stories
- Audio/visual devices for recording drama performances and puppet shows
These resources facilitate creative expression, augment storytelling, and encourage cooperative learning in drama and puppetry activities(ACARA, 2024) .
