Who doesn’t love a good card game for teaching? This popular set has 4 cards for each of the Commandments for a total of 40 playing cards. The lovely design will leave a memorable impression all while your students will be learning through play. Works great for games like Go Fish or Memory Match-it. It’s a win-win!
2 - 10 Commandments Finger Puppets
While we are still on the topic of Aseres HaDibros, how about a craft for your fingers? A favourite for little learners, these easy 10 little finger puppets fit on one printable page. A great wearable way to teach about Ten Commandments.
3 - Shavuos Names Pop-Out Book
Here’s another craft and it’s a fun pop-out kind. Focusing on the different names for the Yom Tov of Shavuos and formatted in a unique pop-out book this craft will keep your students engaged and learning. Not to mention proud of their work. Comes in Color and Black and White options and be sure to check out the Video Tutorial here.
4 - Shavuos MineSweeper
Now this is something quite different that I have used in my classroom and Yom Tov program! It’s a group game based on minesweeper. The 50 cards are layed down on the floor and only the teacher knows the correct path that leads to the end, the Torah.
Players take turns trying to cross the path but if they hit a card that’s not safe, they must go back and wait for another turn. There are multiple paths to solve so this a fabulous game you can play several times.
4 - Shavuos Bingo
And let’s top it off with one more group game, a classic. This printable Bingo set comes with 18 unique boards and full-page cards for the game leader.
