What do we do when we need to clean our bodies?
We take a bath!
What does Hashem do when He needs to clean the world? Sends a Flood!
Using a dirty baby doll, we asked the children how we can clean it? Giving it a bath was a great idea! We used this as a point of understanding for the children to be able to understand what Hashem was doing in the story of Noach and the Teiva (Ark.)
Our Noach puppet roleplayed what took place when Hashem commanded him to build a Teiva. The people that lived at the time of Noach were not very kind. They would take each others things, and did not care to fix their mistakes. Hashem told Noach to build a Teiva, and bring his wife, children and all the animals into it.
He said if the other people want to fix their mistakes, then they can come inside the Teiva! The other people didn't believe Noach, and they ignored him.
After the Teiva was built, Noach took 2 of each of the non-kosher animals, and 7 of each of the Kosher animals. He went inside the Teiva with his family and the rain began coming down!
Noach was safe and protected inside the Teiva!
After the rain stopped, Noach came out of the Teiva and saw a beautiful rainbow!
It was a sign from Hashem that He loves us, and will never do anything like the flood again. We all had fun trying on the rainbow hat!
Art
We created a beautiful bulletin board to display the big raindrops, Noach and his family, the Teiva, the animals and of course the beautiful Rainbow.
Color Sorting Rainbow
The children were invited to find a colored feather, and then glue it onto the correct matching color on the rainbow.
Science, Sink & Float
While talking about the miracle of the Teiva surviving the flood, we used this as an opportunity to understand that some things sink and some things float in water.
Each child was invited to choose and object and predict if it would sink or float! It was fun to experiment together!
It was fun to learn a new game. Using our memory and learning how to take turns. It is also soooo tempting to peek at the other side of the card, but we are learning how to follow the rules of games!
Menachem matched a pair of Toucan's!
We introduced the letter Gimmel, sticking on Gooey things! When looking at the letter, we noticed it has 2 legs! Our legs help us RUN to do mitzvos! We practiced running like a gimmel! We learn from Gimmel to run to do good things!
Menachem and Ben discover they can use their hands to build together!
