This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Puppet therapy on the social skills of children aged 6 to 7 years in Tehran in 2016. The research method was a quasi-experimental design using a pre-test-post-test approach with a control group. The statistical population included all preschool children in District 5 of Tehran. The sample consisted of 30 children selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental group (15 children) and the control group (15 children). The experimental group received 8 sessions of 90-minute puppet play therapy, while the control group remained on a waiting list. Data collection was conducted using the Gresham and Elliott Social Skills Questionnaire (1990). The analysis of the data obtained from the questionnaire was performed using SPSS-v16, with descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution tables) and inferential statistics (analysis of covariance). The results indicated that Puppet therapy significantly improved social skills and its components (cooperation, assertiveness, self-control, and behavioral skills) in children. Therefore, Puppet therapy is effective in enhancing children’s social skills, and these findings can assist parents, educators, and therapists in utilizing Puppet therapy as an educational and therapeutic method.
