Brachos Blvd

 As we continue our trip through Mitzvah Town, we enter Brachos Blvd! 

This week was a delicious one ;) We explored lots of exciting foods, and made some yummy recipes to help us remember what Bracha (blessing) to say on what food! The food activities definitely made it fun for our friends! We had lots of curious friends asking throughout the week what Brocha their snack is?


Shehakol -Blessing said on foods that do not grow in the ground. We say this on meat, chicken, fish, eggs, drinks, candies etc... 

Ice cream sand making 

Using our sense of taste, we played a game of having different juices in a cup. 
The goal was to guess what juice was inside! 

We enjoyed some free slurpees  on 7/11!!


We had lots of fun making and shaking our OWN ice cream 
but it didn't end up tasting as yummy as we hoped it would!




Thank you Rabbi Yoey for leading a rally with us in honor of Yud Beis Tammuz. 

Borei P'ree Ha'eits- Blessing said on all fruits that grow on a tree!

We made a yummy fruit salad together


We separated the fruits and Vegetables to where they grow from. 
This was a great activity to help the children differentiate between the Bracha of "Heitz" (grow on trees) and "Ha-adama" (grow in the ground)  

Mezonos - food that is made from grain, but is not bread (cookies, muffins, pastries)


We created our very own "Caring Cookie Jar" so we can focus on noticing all the good and kind acts our friends do for each other and with each other! When the cookie jar is filled we will have an exciting ice cream party!



Making our own noodle Necklaces! 

Brachos baking

Mmmm we really loved the  brownies we baked together


Hamotzie- Blessing on Bread (bagels, baguettes, Challah, rolls)

the flour our friends had to dig out

Aleph Beis Avenue

 For the second week of camp on Mitzvah Street,  we steered our bulletin board bus into Aleph Bet Ave. We explored letters of the Alef Bet through a variety of arts, games and stories.  Because we have friends from ages 2 to 6, there was a wide range of knowing different letters and even reading! During circle we added some Aleph Beis breathing! We used our bellies as the button for the Beis and then blew it out for the Veis! We enjoyed Aleph Beis yoga as we made our bodies into different letters and marched around the room! 


Beis/Veis Ball Toss
On the green foam blocks there were the letters Beis and Veis. This children were invited to look at the letter and throw it into the correct matching basket.
Aleph dotting                   Chalk tracing

We made some cool abstract Aleph Beis water painting!

We had an exciting dance party this week with glow in the dark sticks! We even went under the table in the dark to see how bright they glow!
