Lesson

In this intergenerational program drawn from the Jewish Grandparents Network Family Room, families with children ages 5–9 bring the story of Purim to life by creating and using puppet characters.  They:

  • Engage in a creative and fun Jewish learning experience as a family (children, parents, grandparents, other family members).
  • Become familiar with the Purim story and the names of the characters.
  • Use puppets for a participatory storytelling experience that can build the storyteller’s confidence as they bring the story to life.

This guide includes everything you need: materials, room set-up, timing, facilitator script, links to resources on JGN website, and follow-up.
