Warm-up
Try one emotion per finger and switch quickly between happy, scared, sleepy, and excited.
Small scale, fast stories, big personality.
Finger puppets work especially well for short scenes, classroom games, and rhythm-based storytelling.
Story drill
Tell a one-minute story with only two characters and one location to keep the scene easy to follow.
Performance tip
Keep the background simple so the small characters remain easy to read on camera and in person.
