What did the world look like before there was light?

We are so happy to be back at Gan after a week full of joyful Holiday celebrations!

Can you imagine what the world would look like if there was no light? Could we see the beautiful trees? flowers? animals? could we see each other?


 During Circle time this week, we offered the children a chance to look inside a very dark box. There were several items placed inside the box, that had a tiny peekhole on one side, and another peekhole on the other side (which was covered in blue tape, so as not to let much light in.)


 None of the children were able to figure out what was in the box...

It was too dark!!












After each child had a chance to look....
we shined a flashlight into the hole that was covered with tape...and allowed the children another chance to peek in the open hole!
WOW---- all the items were visible! The children could see a doll...a cup...

We used this activity as an opportunity to discuss the FIRST thing Hashem created when He created the world!


On the first day of creation Hashem created LIGHT & DARKNESS!

We spoke about all the wonderful things we can see when we have LIGHT!
