Hebrew Through Holidays: Purim March Madness (Part 8 of 10)
This activity is part of a series of 10 holiday-centered activities intended for students in grades K-4 that are learning the Hebrew alphabet for the first time. The activities are meant to build upon each other and to be used in order for students to cumulatively learn the alphabet.

הָמָן
מָרְדְּכַי
אֶסְתֵּרַ
וּשְׁתֵּי
הַמַּנְטָשֶׁן

תַּחְפּוֹשׂוֹת
מִשְׁלוֹחַ מָנוֹת
קַרְנָבָל פּוּרִים
ספיל פּוּרִים

In this March Madness inspired activity, students will learn about the concepts of "lots" and "being chosen" while engaging in a fun bracket-style challenge game as a class, and learn Hebrew along the way!
