BYO Virtual Puppet Making & Improv

International Joke Day, celebrated on July 1 every year, is a day that highlights the importance of laughter and humor in our lives. It’s a fun day to share jokes and make people smile.

International Joke Day is celebrated every year on July 1.

You can host International Joke Day team activities like a puppet-making event for teams or other funny virtual team-building ideas, such as trivia or bingo. It’s a great time to share laughter and bring smiles to everyone’s faces.

To make a homemade puppet, take an old sock or a paper bag for the base. For the eyes, you can stick on googly eyes or draw them with a marker. To make the mouth, just cut out a small piece of red or pink paper and glue it where the mouth would go. You can use yarn or even strips of paper for the hair. If you want to add more personality, you can decorate it with buttons, fabric scraps, or stickers. Once everything’s dry, you can put your hand inside and start talking.

The easiest type of puppet to make is a sock puppet. All you need is an old sock and a few basic craft supplies like markers, googly eyes, or yarn. You just slip your hand inside the sock, add a face on the toe part, and decorate it however you like.

To make cute finger puppets, cut small pieces of felt or paper into shapes that fit your finger like animals, people, or funny creatures. Glue or tape the sides, leaving the bottom open so your finger can go in. Add eyes, a smile, and fun little details using markers, buttons, or fabric bits. Let it dry, and your finger puppet is ready.

A BYO Virtual Puppet Making Workshop is a fun, interactive team-building activity conducted on video conferencing platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Participants create their own hand puppets using available materials at home and then bring them to life through jokes, skits, or improv games. A lively host typically leads the session, who guides the participants through the puppet-making process and ensures everyone’s engaged. 

To host a BYO Virtual Puppet Making Workshop, choose a video conferencing platform like Zoom or Google Meet and share the meeting invite along with a list of materials participants will need, such as socks, paper bags, fabric scraps, felt, cardboard, markers, glue, yarn, and other craft supplies. During the session, have a friendly host guide your team through the step-by-step process of creating fun and unique puppets while encouraging creativity and interaction. Once the puppets are complete, participants can showcase their creations through puppet skits, storytelling, or light-hearted improv activities. For a hassle-free experience, you can also opt for a fully hosted session through team-building platforms like Hooray Teams.

After your booking is confirmed, we will send a meeting link for the event, which you can send to all your participants. On the day of the event, members only need to click the link to join the session.
