Retelling and Writing with Masks

My daughter came across these while cleaning a craft crate.  She came up with the idea to color them and then write a "puppet show" to perform for us.  While I enjoyed her creativity and interest in writing and performing, I also thought about how this could work in the classroom.

                            

                         

These masks can be found at JoAnn Fabrics.  They have an amazing selection of crafts for kids.  These were $1 and 50% off after the holidays.  Later in the day we came across these.

These would be a great tool in a station.  Students could write a script and perform them.  

                  

So, what do you think?  I would love to hear your ideas!
