2. To let the learners know the
history and types of puppets.
To let them create a different kind
of presentations using the
puppet, marionettes and other
story telling techniques.

3.  Children, I have here different pictures
for every group. In order to know what
group you belong you will pick 1 picture
here. So, now,
May I request everyone to please go out
and fall in line in the corridor
alphabetically. Ladies first. Silence must
be observe.

4.  Children, do not remove the picture in the specific
place we’ve pin it. Once you have loss it, you are
not allowed to join the activity since we

in.
 Always observe silence whenever someone is
talking in front.
 Do the things in the best that you could because
there is a reward in every thing you do.

of your group. The purpose of this
picture is that whenever we caught at
least one member making
unnecessary things or even making a
noise and a member who doesn’t
participate in every activity,
automatically one piece of the picture
will be remove. Every picture that will
be remove will equivalent to 1 point
deduction. So, be responsible 

6. GROUP NAME CONTEST

according to the picture of the puppet given
to them. They will be given 5 minutes to
think about it.
2. Select a representative that will explain why
they choose that particular name.
3. Make a simple chant.
4. The best group name and chant will get the
highest point for the given activity.
GOODLUCK! 

8.  A puppet is an
inanimate object
animated or
manipulated by a
puppeteer. It is used in
puppetry, which is a
very ancient form of
theatre.

9. Poppet, a word that sounds similar, is
sometimes a term of endearment,
similar to "love", "pet", "doll" or
"dear". It alludes to folk-magic and
witchcraft, where a poppet is a special
doll created to represent a person for
the purpose
of casting healing,
fertility, or
binding spells.

10. Puppetry was practiced in Ancient Greece and
the oldest written records of puppetry can
be found in the works of Herodotus and
Xenophon, dating from the 5th century BC.[
The Greek word translated as "puppet" is
"νευρόσπαστος" (nevrospastos), which
literally means "drawn by strings, string-
pulling", from "νεῦρον" (nevron), meaning
either "sinew, tendon, muscle, string", or
"wire", and "σπάω" (spaō), meaning "draw,
pull".

11. In India puppetry was practiced from
ancient times and is known by different
names in different parts of the country.
Excavation of clay dolls from Indus valley
sites serve as an indication.[8] The art of
puppetry called Bommalattam is
mentioned in Tamil literature
Silappadikaram, which is written around
2nd century B.C.

12. TYPES
OF
PUPPETRY

13. 1.BLACK LIGHT PUPPET –
is a form of puppetry where the puppets
are operated on a stage lit only with
ultraviolet lighting, which
both hides
the puppeteer
and accentuates
the colors
of the puppet.

14. 2. BUNRAKU PUPPETS - are a type of
wood-carved puppet originally made
to stand out through torch
illumination.

15. 3. CARNIVAL PUPPETS (AKA body
puppets) are usually designed to be
part of a large spectacle.
.

16. 4.FINGER PUPPET -is an extremely
simple puppet variant which fits
onto a single finger.

17. 5. SOCK PUPPET - is a puppet
formed from a sock and operated
by inserting one's hand inside the
sock. One then moves his hand up
and down to give the impression of
speaking.

18. 6. HAND PUPPET (AKA glove
puppet) - are puppets controlled
by one hand which occupies the
interior of the puppet.

19. 7. HUMAN-ARM PUPPET- Also called a "two-man
puppet" or a "live-hand puppet", the human-arm
puppet it is similar to a hand puppet but is larger
and requires two puppeteers

20. 8. LIGHT CURTAIN PUPPET- presentations use
specifically focused light to highlight small areas
of a performance, allowing the puppet to be seen
while the manipulators remain invisible. The
puppets stand on a stage divided into an unlit
background and a well-lit foreground, meeting
to form a "curtain" of light.

21. 9.MARIONETTES, or "string
puppets,“- are suspended and
controlled by a number of strings,
plus sometimes a central rod
attached to a control bar held from
above by the puppeteer.

22. 10. PULL STRING PUPPET - is a puppet
consisting of a cloth body where in the
puppeteer puts his/her arm into a slot in
the back and pulls rings on strings that
do certain tasks such as waving or
moving the mouth.

23. 11. PUSH PUPPET - consists of a
segmented character on a base which is
kept under tension until the button on the
bottom is pressed. The puppet wiggles,
slumps and then collapses, and is usually
used as a novelty toy.

24. 12. ROD PUPPET - is a puppet constructed
around a central rod secured to the head.
A large glove covers the rod and is
attached to the neck of the puppet. A rod
puppet is controlled by the puppeteer
moving the metal rods attached to the
hands of the puppet, any other limbs and
by turning the central rod secured to the
head.

25. 13. SHADOW PUPPET is a cut-out figure held
between a source of light and a translucent
screen. Shadow puppets can form solid
silhouettes or be decorated with various
amounts of cut-out details.

26. Supermarionation is a method invented by
Gerry Anderson which assisted in his
television shows Stingray, Thunderbirds and
Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. The
puppets were essentially marionettes with
electronically moving mouths to allow for lip-
synchronised speech. The marionettes were
still controlled by human manipulators with
darkened strings.

27. 14. TICKLEBUG- is a type of hand puppet
created from a human hand to have four
legs, where the puppet features are drawn
on the hand itself. The middle finger is
lifted as a head, and the thumb and
forefinger serve as a first set of two legs
on one side, while the ring finger and little
finger serve as a second set of two legs on
the opposite side.

28. 15. TABLE TOP PUPPET -is a puppet
usually operated by rod or direct
contact from behind, on a surface
similar to a table top (hence the
name).

29. 16. VENTRILOQUIST'S DUMMY is a puppet
operated by a ventriloquist performer to focus
the audience's attention from the performer's
activities and heighten the illusions. They are
called dummies because they do not speak on
their own. The ventriloquist dummy is
controlled by the one hand of the ventriloquist.
Such acts aren't always performed with a
traditional dummy, occasionally using other
forms of puppetry.

30. 17. WATER PUPPET is a Vietnamese puppet
form, the "Múa rối nước". Múa rối nước
literally means "puppets that dance on
water", an ancient tradition that dates back
to the 10th century.

31. 18. OBJECT PUPPETS- can be
created with found everyday objects
either assembled in advance or
during performance.

32. 19. MOTEKAR PUPPET or Wayang Motekar is a kind of
shadow puppet theater, or in Sundanese, Javanese, and
Indonesia in general known as 'wayang (kulit),'
(leather) puppet. However, the difference, if the
shadow puppets or like all forms of shadow puppet in
general show performances in the form of a shadow
(silhouette) of the black color, while Motekar Puppet
have discovered a new technique so that the shadow of
puppets can be performed with full color.

34.  A marionette is a puppet controlled from
above using wires or strings depending on
regional variations. A marionette's puppeteer
is called a marionettist. Marionettes are
operated with the puppeteer hidden or
revealed to an audience by using a vertical or
horizontal control bar in different forms of
theatres or entertainment venues. They have
also been used in films and on television. The
attachment of the strings varies according to
its character or purpose.

35.  Marionettes are distinguished from regular
puppets by the fact that they are controlled
by strings that are manipulated from above.
This allows them a freedom of movement that
is unmatched by other forms of puppetry,
and this type of movement demands a great
deal of skill from the person who is pulling
the strings. Let’s take a look at the role that
they have played in our history, both for
entertainment purposes and for deadly
serious ones!

36. In Myanmar, which was once known as
Burma, troupes of marionettes were
commissioned and maintained by
royalty. Though the stories told by the
marionette troupes were no doubt
fascinating and entertaining, they
served a very real occupation.

37. The Burmese court was concerned with
preserving the dignity of its members and
marionettes were often used to preserve the
esteem of a person who had erred. For
instance, the emperor could reprimand his
children or his wife in this way by asking the
puppeteers to put on a parable correcting
errant children or careless wives about their
reckless ways. While the reprimand would be
obvious to anyone who was "in the know" it
would largely pass unheeded by the people
looking on, something that had a great deal of
value in a court that could, and did contain
hundreds of people.

38. The BURMESE MARIONETTES also
served as a conduit between the ruler
and his subjects… many times, people
would ask the puppeteers to mention
in a veiled fashion a current event or
warning to the ruler. In this way,
information could be transferred on
without any disrespect. A marionette
could say things that a human could
never get away with.

39. In many ways, the Burmese marionette troupes
replaced the actors of the time. It was
considered a beheading offense to put
your head above royalty, a fact which
made standing on a stage difficult to say
the least. Similarly, the laws of Burma were
such that an actor could not wear full
costumes if they were playing figures like
royalty or holy men. While both of these
facts would hamper the movement and
styling's of a human actor, marionettes
were not bound by such things and thrived
in the vacuum.

40. In the Classical world of the ancient Greeks and
Romans, articulated dolls were found in the
graves of children, many of them bearing rods
or strings by which they could be manipulated.
These children's toys showed that the art of
puppetry was quite popular, and the writings
of Aristotle and Plato, both of whom mention
puppetry, confirm this. The great and abiding
classics of Western literature, the Iliad and the
Odyssey, may very well have been performed
using marionettes.

41. In Europe, Italy was commonly
considered to be the birthplace of
the marionette. These early puppets
were used to describe morality plays
to a largely illiterate audience.
Behaviors that would be considered
lewd or inappropriate if undertaken
by human actors was acceptable in
marionettes.

42. Later on, the marionettes were used in
epics like The Song of Roland, and
during the eighteenth century, there
was a trend of using marionettes to
perform full-length operas, a
tradition which is continued in some
parts of Germany to this day.

43. The New World might even have an older
version of the marionette. The Hopi had a
Great Serpent drama known as Palu Lakonti
that was performed every year in March.
Large snakes are depicted as rising from the
ground and sweeping across the fields. These
serpents are marionettes as they are
manipulated by strings from above, as there
the two Corn Maids who accompany them.
This is a tradition that existed long before
Europeans showed up on American shores
and points to a history with marionettes and
puppetry that is extremely ancient.

44.  CHINESE / ASIAN PADDLE CONTROL
This type of control has many strings
attached to a rounded rectangular paddle
with a short handle, all the strings are
attached and hang from the outer edge of the
paddle and are used by selecting each string
with the opposite hand and pulling to control
the figure which hangs below.

45. HORIZONTAL CONTROL
This control is a bar which is held in the hand in
a horizontal plane. There can be numerous bars at
right angles to the central bar, which in turn attaches
via wires to the hands, shoulders, back, etc. A smaller
plate is usually hung under the main bar, and this
carries the head strings; likewise, a detachable clip
usually holds the leg bar. This style of control is
generally used in the USA for human figures and is
also known as the American control. A similar control
is almost universally used for quadruped animals; as it
emulates the basic shape of the animal, rocking it
from side to side will control the leg movements in
unison. The Salzburg Marionette Theatre in Austria
also uses a variant of this style for its human
characters.

46. VERTICAL CONTROL
This type of control is an upright bar which has various smaller
bars inserted at right angles from which the head, shoulder, back
etc. strings etc. are attached to. This control usually has a
detachable leg bar which controls walking when held in the
opposite hand. The arms are controlled by wires which are
inserted into a hole in the shaft bent at approximately 45 degrees
to the shaft and hang loosely with a loop at the end to attach the
hand strings, these are then moved by the fingers holding the
main shaft. A tilt of the main upright, controls the head and body
with a fine nuance, This type of control is usually called the British
control. Another variation of the vertical control is found in
Europe usually a rigid wire rod extends from the center of the
head upwards and fixed rigidly to the control, The leg bar is
inserted through the main upright but pivots on a pin to allow
movement of the legs.

47.  SICILIAN MARIONETTES
Sicilian marionettes are among the
simplest marionettes to operate. They
are usually carved out of wood and
have a sturdy rod which extends up
through the body into the head. This
rod, and one string attached to the
hand, controls the manipulation of the
puppet.

48. Czech rod marionettes are similar to Sicilian ones
though they are more complex. They are hand
carved, usually using lime wood. The marionettes
have the central rod like the Sicilian marionette but
also have strings for the arms and legs. Sometimes
they also use string to control a mouth or movable
ears. These require more skilled manipulation.
Czechs also have marionettes that have no central
rod and strings that are attached to the head,
shoulders and back. These are the most difficult
marionettes to manipulate due to the absence of
the central rod. Miroslav Trejtnar is an
acknowledged master puppeteer and teacher of
traditional Czech marionette making skills.

49. Burmese marionettes are all string operated
and are a popular art in Burma. Marionettes
are called Yoke thé (lit. miniatures) and are
almost always performed in operas. A
Burmese marionette troupe must have 27
characters, including a king, animals such as
horse, elephant, tiger, monkey and parrot,
ministers, prince and princess and buffoons.
A hsaing waing, a traditional Burmese
orchestra usually provides the music.
Burmese marionettes are very intricate and
dexterous as they employ 18 (for male
characters) or 19 (for female) wires, each
puppet controlled only by one puppeteer.
