ACTIVITY 1 - MAKE A MAGICAL MOVING SERPENT<br />

IDEAS TO EXTEND THIS ACTIVITY<br />

Your students can try working together to make a really<br />

big version of the puppet by using wider strips of paper, or a<br />

really miniature one using smaller strips.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y could also experiment with the placement of the strings,<br />

sticking the puppet on the end of two sticks instead of hanging<br />

it from them or using different papers to construct the body.<br />

Encourage them to use their imagination to decorate their<br />

serpents!<br />

Ask your students to explore how their serpents might move in<br />

different ways to tell a story – they could create short animations<br />

or films with their serpents.<br />

Ask them to consider other magical creatures they could make<br />

with these materials and what kind of otherworldly places they<br />

come from, for example the Caterpillar in our ballet of Alice’s<br />

Adventures in Wonderland.<br />
