Gwin (1972: 60) states that puppet is a wonderful toy that can be
controlled by an operator and can teach kids and adult, all kinds of things.
It is defined by Reyhmer (1997: 339) that a doll with a hollow head a
person or animal and cloth body, intended to fit over the hand be manipulated
with the fingers. While based on Oxford dictionary (1974: 679) puppet is defined
as doll small figure of animal etc, with jointed limbs by wire or strings used in
plays or doll of which the body can be put in the hand like a glove the arms and
head being moved by the fingers on the operation.
From the definition above, it can be concluded that puppets are parts of
visual aid for teaching strategies especially in teaching vocabulary. It is believed
that puppet can give an element of fun to learners. By inserting humorous
elements, puppets are intended to attract the student’s attention.

over the operator’s hand. The garment covers the operator’s wrist and helps
to hide it from views. The index finger fits into the puppets head and the
