How can you teach your preschool students the real meaning of Hanukkah? This Hanukkah lesson plan for preschool explains how to do just that. Learn how to discuss the concept of noticing miracles in everyday life and focus on the parts of the Hanukkah story that preschoolers can really relate to.
The story of Chanukah includes the victory of the Maccabees against the Greek armies, and the oil in the menorah burning eight days instead of one.
The Hanukkah House is a demonstration project integrating computers and Jewish learning in a play-like setting. The Hanukkah House reinforces Hebrew vocabulary through the creation of a Hanukkah scene.
Have students identify what they already know about Hanukkah. Have the students pair up and share their ideas with a partner. Then invite various students to share what they know with the whole class.
Chanukah is celebrated by Jewish people around the world. Honor the Festival of Lights by hand-crafting a beautiful banner.
