I finally figured out what to do with the puppets that I had made that were just on stands in my basement. I'm going to use them in a puppet ministry at my church. I've gotten the church education board behind it, and the adult leadership is almost as excited as I am. I've purchased several resources, including Ben Jone's Wanna Bite of Elephant, to get things started. But now I've got a bit of a dilemma.
I had planned to use the older kids in Sunday school as my puppeteers (grades 8-12.) While I was one once, I'm not sure about how to get past the teenager's "Ugh, puppets are for kids. This is bull dinky." attitude that they often have. I realize that not everyone is as enthusiastic about puppetry as I am, but how can I get them to open up to the possibility that it could be fun and introduce them to puppetry?
