Puppetry
Children say & do things with puppets that they may not say or do themselves.
Puppets speak on their behalf sometimes & act out feelings, thoughts & ideas. The puppets become an extension of the child.
The puppet can be a symbol that the facilitator can use open ended questions with, to bring through a gestalt role play exercise.
