About this Curriculum
These Purim lesson plans for K-12 students teach themes of bravery, advocacy, and personal identity through engaging, age-appropriate activities designed to support diverse learners.

Older students analyze personal boundaries through the stories of Vashti and Esther, with accommodations to ensure all students can participate meaningfully, regardless of learning style or ability.
These Purim lesson plans provide engaging, age-appropriate activities that help students explore themes of bravery, advocacy, and personal identity through the Purim story. Designed for diverse learners, they include visual supports, hands-on projects, and discussion-based activities to ensure accessibility for all students. Each lesson encourages students to make meaningful connections between the story and their own lives, fostering self-expression, boundary-setting, and standing up for others.
