The trail
How to Do the Quest
- 1
Draw a face on the folded flap of each paper bag and give every puppet a name plus one helpful personality trait.
- 2
Cut or tear small paper notes with safe pretend deliveries such as a compliment, a drawing, or a made-up weather report.
- 3
Set up a delivery route using three visible spots in one room, leaving walkways, stairs, and private spaces out of the game.
- 4
Take turns using a puppet voice to deliver one note, then let the receiver respond with a new assignment.
- 5
Finish by lining up the puppets for a one-minute show about the most unusual delivery of the day.
Make It Even More Fun
- ✦ Make one puppet a silent mime character that communicates only with drawings and gestures.
- ✦ Use picture prompts, a seated or observer role, fewer choices, or a shorter first round so everyone can take part comfortably.
Level It Up
Create matching delivery badges and a simple route map, then perform a three-stop puppet episode.
Make It Easier
Decorate one puppet together and deliver only one note to a chosen chair or table.
Quest Challenge
Can every puppet complete a delivery that makes someone smile without leaving the agreed play area?
Pro Tip
Use tape instead of staples so younger makers can adjust their puppets without sharp tools.
