Zusammenfassung:Educators and clinicians are continually searching for innovative methodologies that promote positive health behaviors, that are age and developmentally appropriate, and that are fun. Puppetry meets these criteria. Puppetry is a creative learning methodology that stimulates learning through play. Various types of puppets are identified and a summary of the ways in which puppets may be used in a coordinated school health program to enhance positive health behaviors is presented.
