Camp Connection: Use Jewish Values to Reflect on Camp Experiences

Written by Behrman House Staff, 07 of July, 2014
Jewish Values in Game Form

Welcome students back in the fall by helping them reflect on their camp experiences from a Jewish values point of view, using the Jewish Values Challenge Cards. 

Camp is deeply immersive, enriching, and full of emotion for kids. Help them process some of their feelings about camp, camp experiences, and camp friendships using 58 Jewish values in a playful environment using card-based games created by Robyn Faintich. 

 

Each card in this 58-card card deck includes the name of a significant Jewish value in English, Hebrew, and transliterated Hebrew, along with a one-sentence explanation to help clarify the value.

Each deck includes instructions for 13 different games in three categories: (1) Values Clarification (e.g., “Judge and Jury”), (2) Team Building (e.g., “What’s Important to Us?”), and (3) Skills Development (e.g., “Say It in Hebrew!”)

Ideal for use with youth groups, clubs, camps, and Hebrew High programs for:

·         Values clarification

·         Team building

·         Skills development

·         Social justice programs

·         Mitzvah project development

You can also add 32 scenarios to allow students to explore real life challenging situations that can be handled with Jewish values. Learners will discuss how to handle situations like receiving a gift they do not like, obeying parent's rules, receiving too much change, and much more.
