Puppets are one of the oldest forms of storytelling. For this activity, students will create Bali shadow puppets to represent the main components of a story read aloud to the class. During this project, they will learn about the importance of shadow puppet theater—wayang kulit—in Bali's culture.

We Give Books

Visit We Give Books, a free online library of children's picture books. For every book read on the site, a brand-new book will be donated to a children's literacy campaign of your choosing. Read aloud to students or encourage them read independently, and you'll teach them to help others at the same time. Giving is as simple as reading!
