Rosh Hashanah and High Holidays word search
The High Holidays ask a lot of children — long services, a serious mood, a table full of adults. A large-print word search built on the season's words gives kids a way in: something quiet to do that is about the holiday rather than a distraction from it. Shofar, apples and honey, Tashlich, the Book of Life.
A quiet activity for a serious season
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are reflective holidays, and a loud toy is out of place. A word search is quiet and self-contained — a child can do it at the table or in the back of the service without disturbing anyone, and it keeps them connected to the day.
The vocabulary of the New Year
The hidden words are the images of the season — the shofar, apples and honey, pomegranates, Tashlich, teshuvah, a sweet new year. A child who finishes the puzzle has spent time with what the holidays are about, which is more than a generic activity offers.
One set or the whole year
The High Holidays set comes with bonus printables for Sukkot and Shabbat, and there is a full-year set of 72 puzzles if you want the whole calendar in one download.
