This work dealt with the fairy tale and the puppet show, and how to unify them. The emphasis was on the fact that children enjoy listening to fairy tales, but also like puppets. The fairy tale is a very specific literary genre, with limitless imagination, talking animals, wish-granting fairies and many other characters that children are fond of. The fairy tale always ends with an important message (so we can use it in order to show the child that its actions are good or wrong). When we transform the fairy tale into a puppet show, children enjoy it even more because, along with the story, they have a visual interpretation full of effects. Many benefits of fairy tales have been listed, such as artistic advancement, learning about literature and an escape from reality of sorts. On the other hand, we have puppets which are one of children’s favourite toys because children can use them to be whoever they want to be and express their hidden emotions. There are many types of puppets and ways of performing a puppet show, but in the activities of this thesis work, the concept of shadow puppetry was used (because of its simplicity and effectiveness). The conclusion is that children enjoyed the puppet show and puppet-making which shows that the activities successfully linked fairy tales and the theatre.
