ALPHABETISIMO! - Interactive Educational Shadow Theater Assembly
Where do words and letters go, after we say them, do you know? Some of them turn into shadows and dance and play in my House of Light!
This is the story of a secret House of Light, where Letters and Words live, play and create stories. Shadow letters turn into shadow characters, shadow characters come out of a shadow house and turn into flat puppets. What do we do, if A -angel falls asleep and its W-wings fly away? Angel and Boy and we all will go on a journey to find the Wings. Together we will run, jump, learn some pantomime moves, recall the alphabet and use our imagination to turn letters into character! And of course we will find the wings, and in the end tired and happy Letters will return home and… fall asleep: Z-Z-Z-Z...
Goals and Objectives:
- Introduce shadow puppets as a literacy and science teaching tool
- Introduce and/or recall alphabet
- Introduce object transformation (letters into characters) as a great problem solving tool and a foundation for coding and decoding skills (basic reading and math skills)
- Social-Emotional context - helping your friends

Living within a short car drive from Washington D.C. means that I’m asked a recurring question from every new person I meet: “What do you do?” Answering that question is challenging and varies depending on whom I’m talking to. Some days I’m an illustrator, others I’m an art director, graphic designer, pattern maker, or muralist. The truth is that I am all of these things, hence the name Three Ring Studio.
