Sukkot Resources for Family Educators
Posted by Aviva Werner on August 31, 2010 at 09:53 am
Below are a few of the great online resources available for Sukkot (http://www.babaganewz.com/tag/sukkot+holiday-resources/?teachers):
Suggest to families to play “Sukkot Lingo” (http://www.babaganewz.com/wp-content/uploads/teachers/pdfs/sukkotlingoteachers.pdf) together in the sukkah (or at home) as they discuss the holiday, its meaning, and symbols.
Families can bridge the generation gap with this vinyl-record-turned-sukkah-decoration craft (http://www.babaganewz.com/articles/lets-twist-again/).
Encourage families to invite the Ushpizin (spiritual guests on Sukkot) into their own sukkot or into the synagogue’s sukkah with Ushpizin placemats (http://www.babaganewz.com/wp-content/uploads/teachers/pdfs/1409ushpizin.pdf).
Suggest to families to bake up a delicious and educational Mount Sinai cake in honor of Simchat Torah (http://www.babaganewz.com/kids/munching-on-mount-sinai/).
Organize a “flash mob” dance (http://www.babaganewz.com/teachers/lessons/1102lesson/) in your synagogue for Simchat Torah. Teach the steps to everyone at parent-child learning or junior congregation to promote greater attendance at Simchat Torah services and to encourage families to celebrate together.
