Henry Hand Puppet Ideas Guide

Henry Hand puppet is a series of animated and puppet action DVDs aimed at children under 5. It is suitable for use in schools, nurseries, Sunday Schools, pre-schools and at home. Henry Hand Puppet brings together Bible stories from the Old Testament alongside situations children will recognise from their lives. With cute characters the children can relate to, and simplified versions of Old Testament stories, Henry Hand Puppet brings out teaching points very young children will understand and can apply to their lives. This guide provides helpful suggestions, talking points and activities for adults and children to engage in together and to enhance their understanding of the Bible stories and relate them to the childrens lives.
Use in Schools
The stories on this DVD along with this guide have been written to be compatible with SEAL activities and Religious Education syllabuses from a number of Dioceses. SEAL Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning, has been developed by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and aims to develop the underpinning qualities and skills that help promote positive behaviour and effective learning. Where appropriate the guide identifies the relevant SEAL theme and aspect of learning which is covered by the DVD. As each diocese and local authority has its own RE syllabus, not every story will occur in each syllabus and not every story in the syllabus will be covered. Where appropriate, other aspects of the early years curriculum has been incorporated, such as counting and letter recognition activities.
