This week Shorashim had lots of practice counting in Hebrew through many different activities. One of the most popular activities was hopscotch!
The challenge was that you had to say the numbers in Hebrew as you jumped on them.
Shorashim had winter in mind, playing “snowball” games in which we either tossed the “snowball” into a numbered muffin tin and named the number it landed in…
…or we filled each cup with the matching number of snowballs.
Some friends decided to count all of the snowballs! There were 57!
We found that we could count many other things around Beit Shorashim using our number knowledge. Such as “guards” protecting a structure…
…food in the מטבח (mitbach – kitchen)…
…or stars we hung up on the wall!
There’s no telling what we can do with our building Hebrew vocabulary!
