Abstract
The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of puppet theater in developing Islamic manners among kindergarten children. To achieve this objective, the researchers selected a sample of 30 boys and girls, divided into two groups: 15 children in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. The researchers also developed a tool to assess Islamic manners, consisting of 18 items in its final form. The validity and reliability of the tool were established, with a reliability coefficient of 0.82 using the internal consistency method. After statistically analyzing the data, the results indicated that puppet theater was effective in enhancing Islamic manners among children in the experimental group. Based on these findings, the researchers proposed several recommendations and suggestions, including adopting puppet theater as a permanent educational feature in both public and private kindergartens, allocating a specific time slot for it in the weekly schedule, and conducting a similar study to explore the impact of puppet theater on developing health awareness among kindergarten children
