Rosh Hashanah Printables for Kids

Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Jewish New Year, is coming up soon, and these printables will help you celebrate with kids or give you a way to teach kids who aren’t observant a little about Jewish traditions.

These Rosh Hashanah activity pages from Jewish Boston include a memory game, maze, drawing and coloring pages.

Moms and Crafters has a collection of high holy days coloring pages that includes Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah. You can grab them on Etsy and use them for all the holidays.

Everyday Jewish Mom has a beautiful coloring page and a tic tac toe board with Jewish symbols, both of which can be printed and used or used digitally.

This fun fish card is a great way to send holiday greetings or just color for fun. There are options without words and ones with script that says Shana Tova or May we be at the head and not the tail. You can get a copy from Pitoti on Etsy.

Leif Erikson Day is celebrated on Oct. 9, and it’s a great time to learn more about the Vikings and why we still remember Erikson all these years later.

If you don’t know about Leif Erikson (sometimes spelled Eriksson), he’s believed to have been born in Iceland, and is considered the first European to set foot on continental America, more than 500 years before Christopher Columbus.

123 Homeschool 4 Me has a printable mini book about Leif Erikson and the Vikings for kids to read and color. It talks about who the Vikings were, what kind of ships they used, how they got to America and more. It’s a good overview for younger kids to use.

A good unit study is available from Simple Living Creative Learning, which includes a page where kids can write what they know, what they want to learn and what they learned through the unit, as well as information on the Vikings, longships, helmets, clothing and more.
