PuppetPals HD – (the Directors Cut) is a natty app that allows your pupils to re-enact scenes, re-tell stories or practise speaking and listening.
Once the pupils have gained the skills to add actors and scenes they rapidly produce an engaging and memorable piece of work that you’ll want to share!
Pupils can even take pictures of themselves and use them as characters to personalise their performance although many younger pupils, who are less confident about appearing on-screen, prefer to use the built-in images.
