Right off the bat, kids will be playing with hoops, balls and more while they get informally acquainted with the volunteers. Next we will do a number of Ice-breakers (games) that will have the kids laughing together, working toward a common goal, and learning an aspect of “Love Your Neighbour as yourself.”
Children will be watching a short video clip. They will learn the song “Kol Ha’olam Kulo, Gesher Tzar Me’od” and play two games that will help the children understand its meaning: “The entire world is a very narrow bridge, and it is essential that we should not fear anything.” These are movement and teamwork games that will have the child up around and smiling!
Justin Sakofs will be fresh off presenting an engaging session for adults and will jump right in to work with the children. While the children and parents eat together, Justin will show the group how much fun they can have in Shul!
Children will learn some new songs in English and Hebrew that will create great energy and connection. Then they will play a game called Caterpillar that will be followed by a video and discussion about Sukkot.
Children will watch a few video clips about Israel and discuss what Israel might mean to them. They will also learn about the service that Israeli women and men give to Israel.
Children will learn about Purim through videos and discussion. Then they will make their very own Purim masks to take home!
