Virtual Field Trips for Elementary School Students
Give Your Students an Up Close & Personal View of Our Engaging Puppet Art Theater Assembly Programs
Want to give your students an amazing and fun field trip…from the comfort of your classrooms? Field trips are fun and stimulating for students but come with a litany of headaches. You have to deal with buses, permission slips, and a slew of other logistics.
But there is a better way.
What if you could give your students a field trip experience while still in the classroom? Our fun and amazing virtual field trips for elementary school students give you the education and enjoyment of a field trip without any fuss. And this kind of program is far better than most virtual school assemblies.
This Virtual Field Trip Gives Students An Inside Look at a Performance Art
Many virtual school assemblies are merely performances in front of a camera. While they are fun, those kinds of assembly programs do not take full advantage of the virtual environment. That’s why we at Puppet Art Theater decided to go a lot further with our virtual programs.
Each virtual field trip starts with a captivating performance of one of our fun interactive puppet theater productions. Each show tells a complete from beginning to end. With classic tales like “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Three Little Pigs,” and many more, these shows stimulate a love of storytelling and reading in your students.
These productions are also state-of-the-art. Each program is enhanced with animation, special effects, and much more. It’s like watching a Saturday morning cartoon…with better production values!
And that’s just the beginning.
After the production ends, your students will participate in a backstage tour of our puppet studios. You’ll discover how we bring our puppet friends (and their stories) to vibrant life. It’s an amazing, one-of-a-kind way to get a behind-the-scenes look at a fascinating art form.
