Game/Activity: Tambourines are an ancient Israeli instrument mentioned in the Book of Exodus. Make your own tambourine by stapling two paper plates together and filling with small pebbles, beans, or beads. Play your tambourine, and notice how the sound changes when new materials are substituted for the filler.
Snack: Make a potato latke, such as is traditionally eaten during Hanukkah. Mix together 2 cups of frozen hashbrowns, 2 beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, ¼ cup of chopped onion, and 2 Tablespoons of flour. Drop the batter by spoonfuls into a heated skillet, and flatten into cakes with a spatula. Brown on both sides, and then serve warm with applesauce.
Craft: Make a miniature copy of the Israeli flag.
- Gather a blank, white index card, as well as glue, blue markers, and six toothpicks (you might have some of these left over from our France Story Time at Home a few weeks back).
- Color your toothpicks blue.
- Glue the toothpicks into the shape of two, separate triangles.
- You can make a Star of David for your miniature flag by overlapping and gluing together the two triangles; one triangle will be right-side-up, and the other will be upside-down.
- Glue the Star of David onto your white flag, and let dry.
