Making and sorting puppets with adjective labels engages students physically, which helps them remember vocabulary better.

When kids cut, glue, label, and move their puppets, they’re actively connecting the word to the concept. I cut the toilet paper tubes in half and tapes a classification word.  I cut all the pictures and glued each one on a craft stick and also glued the word. But, you can glue only the picture and have the students find the word.

Sorting puppets by adjectives helps learners organize new vocabulary into categories (e.g., feelings, condition, weather, age, size, etc.). This boosts comprehension and prepares them for sentence building later.

Students can use their puppets to describe: “Coffee is hot., The ice cream is cold.”

These puppets are reusable and great for memory games by matching the word to the cutout.

Speaking Prompts. Students pick a puppet and describe it out loud using full sentences: “This is Sarah. She has gray hair She is old.”

Writing Activity. Students choose a puppet and write a short description using adjectives.

“This is Max. He is rich. He has short black hair and black eyes.”

Use the puppets for small group adjective practice to write a short story: There are two boxes, one is full, one is empty. There is an empty brown box and full white box. I like the full box, I don’t like the empty box.
