Holiday Unit, Purim

On this page you will find:
  • A copy of the Purim lesson guide from the most recent edition of the curriculum
  • A "sample lesson" video that was created with the help of one HTM class.  
  • Purim ​​picture cards that you may download and print
  • A video with all the vocabulary pronounced and translated (look below for the yellow screenshot). The video was posted to help parents hear and better understand the language that their children are bringing home! Feel free to share the link with them.
  • A video called "Word Usage Clues" that offers grammar info for teachers whose Hebrew language skills are still developing.
  • Word cards. Note that these are used in later years of Hebrew Through Movement study when children are working on Print Literacy through HTM. 
  • ​Extra script ideas developed by a Cleveland teachers' community of practice.
Happy teaching!

Sample Lesson

PURIM PICTURE CARDS

These photos illustrate Purim vocabulary from the most recent edition of the curriculum guide. Choose the set that matches the Option you are teaching, then print those one-per-page, ideally in color. If you are teaching virtually,  send your children printed copies of these photos, 2 or 4 per page. While teaching you can ask them to "lift up" (and show you)  the picture of whatever word you have said.
Remember that whenever possible, you want to use real objects, not photos - go searching for items that illustrate these words!
