Laughing Tissue – A Beis HaMikdosh Activity

Here’s another quick game we played during our camp that’s super easy to run. All you need is a tissue! I found this game on google a few years back but this year I connected it with the episode of Rabbi Akiva.

The Issue

I began by telling over the story of why Rabbi Akiva laughed when seeing the fox in the ruins of the Beis HaMikdosh (linked above).

The Tissue

After the story I explained to the children that I would be throwing a tissue in the air (maybe I should call this version “Tissue Above”. As long as it was in the air, they were to laugh. As soon as it drops, you stop!
