Who's Behind That Mask? Text Study and Art Activity

In this activity students will:

• Look at characters in the Megillah who "dress up" and try to figure out why they are wearing the specific clothes and how they might feel about it.
• Think about how they feel about dressing up or wearing masks - especially during this year when they have been wearing masks every day.
• Draw pictures of themselves wearing masks while also showing who they are underneath.
