BOOK WEEK Puppet Adventure Workshop – BOOK AN ADVENTURE!
Presented by Julie Zommers
Step into a world of imagination, creativity and character-building fun! In this fast-paced, 90-minute workshop, students will learn the magic of puppetry while bringing their own wild, wonderful adventure stories to life.
Perfectly aligned with this year’s Book Week theme — Book an Adventure — children will explore storytelling through movement, voice, character creation and performance. They'll meet Julie’s hilarious puppet family (over 100 puppets!), learn five essential puppetry skills, and then make their very own mouth-moving puppet to take home.
Whether it’s a hero on a jungle quest or a shy dragon looking for friends, every child gets to invent, imagine and perform their own adventure.
This workshop is playful, purposeful, and age-appropriate for K–6, with expert adaptation on the day by Julie Zommers — a veteran children’s presenter with over 2,000 workshops delivered.
✨ Interactive. Creative. Unforgettable.
Book now and let your students become the stars of their very own puppet adventure!
