Conductive copper thread or tape added to puppets connects your puppets to the Makey Makey. Scratch adds a huge new dimension to your storytelling.

This lesson has two parts, one for a paper bag puppet and the other for a fabric hand puppet. In both cases, start by adding conductive material to the puppets. Connect the puppet to the Makey Makey with alligator clips. Use Scratch to augment your puppet show by providing captioning for your lines, sound effects, animation, or other theatrical flourishes.
