Shifra's Blog
We are happy to announce
the birth of our “New Baby”- the place for Hebrew teachers-
“The Think Zone”!
The Think Zone offers a
series of simple, easy to read stories/booklets with
accompanying workbooks and games for individual practice.
These materials offer children a fun way to learn how to
read and understand Hebrew.
Hopefully an enjoyable
learning experience in the classroom will lead to a positive
connection with the language and with their Jewish heritage.

First days of school - activities
What
back-to-school lessons or
getting-to-know-you activities do you do
with your class on the first few days of
school?
Let’s share some great ideas for the first
week of school.
There’s nothing like first good
impression…..and YES we-the Hebrew teachers-
need it.
Poster - All about me
The
students will write in Hebrew all about
themselves: likes and dislikes -foods,
movies, books and so, about their family,
what they like to do during their free time,
hobbies and so
This way we get to know the students and
their level in Hebrew.

The
dice /box Game
I make a big dice and
write activities or questions in Hebrew on it with black
marker.
Activities: sing part of a song or a full song in
Hebrew, say your favorite color, say what you like to wear
the most, what is you hobby, what is your nick name, tell
about something nice/ interesting you did during summer
vacation, what’s your favorite food, what will you take to a
deserted island…..and so on
One student starts with
the dice/ box and after finishing tosses it to another
student while calling out their name. This really gets the
kids excited about playing with one another and they get to
practice some Hebrew!
It makes a nice break in
all of the rules and telling/teaching expectations for the
first day!

Class
Mosaic
I give each student a
square piece of white cardboard and I ask them to write,
draw, or put anything that represents them as individuals-
All in Hebrew. They decorate the piece of cardboard as they
wish. Some of them may find that their piece has a
restricted area, a colored part. They should not write in
that colored part. When they finish, they have to put the
mosaic together as if it was a puzzle in order to see what
that colored part in each square forms. When the mosaic is
put together the things I wrote in Hebrew can be read- שלום,
כתה ו', שנה טובה. I tell them that the class works as a
whole and if one part of the mosaic is missing, falls or is
torn, the class is not complete. We are all part of that
class and we all build it up.
