Turkey Puppet

Research shows that the best forms of teaching with the highest retention rate is by teaching others/immediate use and practicing by doing. With anywhere from 75% to 80% of the information being retained rather than 5% to 10% if a student is just being lectured or simply reading.

With that being said, check out activitytv.com (linked) for a fun activity for you and you your child to make a finger puppet of a turkey. The site has a tutorial video as well as well as a written-out procedure. While making your finger puppets be sure to incorporate some French vocabulary or Spanish vocabulary (both are linked to a short list of terms for you to use). ENJOY!
