Above you can see a few of the cards I’ve made. A teacher friend suggested cutting letter shapes out of sandpaper, but I wanted something more visually stimulating to complement the touchy-feely aspect. When I started teaching Hebrew alef-bet, I decided to make myself a set of tactile flashcards.

You can download my copy of the Afikoman hunt cards here. Quick, easy, and with a big enough yard, quite good exercise too. (Eventually the kids realised it was worthwhile checking and remembering which letters had been found before they ran off looking for another one!)

If it was a letter that team had already found, it needed to be rehidden. The rule was that only one child per team could run off to search at a time, and they could only bring back one letter. I made a set for each team taking part and hid the letters around the yard. In this game, I printed and laminated copies of each Hebrew letter in the word “afikoman” (which curiously enough is actually derived from a Greek word), and the full word. The afikoman is the piece of matzah which is traditionally hidden during the course of the Passover seder for children to find later, and it becomes the last thing to be eaten at that seder. This is a neat game for kids, combining the fun of a treasure hunt with some Hebrew learning!

Instructions on how to fold a chatterbox can be found online – thank you again google. I left half unanswered so they can do a bit of work themselves before taking their new toy home and quizzing their parents. Depending on the age and ability of your children, and the amount of time you have available, they could fill it all in themselves, but this guarantees a minimum standard of completion and legibility!īlack and white diagrams can be coloured in, children can practice the first eight letters of the alef-bet instead of counting to eight, and underneath each letter is a question relating to the festival. I found a template online (google “chatterbox template” and you’ll see many) and filled it in. I was struck by the possibility of combining the eight internal faces of the chatterbox to the eight nights of Chanukah, an idea which I’m sure has many more possibilities than the simple one I have settled on for class this weekend. Earlier this year my daughter brought one home from primary school, proof that while much has changed since my childhood, much also remains the same. I remember making and playing with paper fortune tellers (also known as chatterboxes or cootie catchers) when I was a child.
