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.
