Start with a story: introduce Hanukkah with Rabbi Moose’s short explanation. Make something: choose a coloring sheet or dreidel craft. Play together: use paper gelt to practice taking turns. Finish with a kindness: invite each child to choose one helpful thing to try.
Choose activities for each child’s age and abilities. Younger children can color, count, and listen while grown-ups handle cutting and cooking.
