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.

Yom Kippur Activities for Kids

One of my favorite things in the little kid classrooms my daughter was in when she was younger (besides pretend play) was the science center. This space pretty much always had magnifying glasses (and probably binoculars because it was in front of a window), tweezers and other basic tools, but the content of the things they were studying would change every so often.

It might be the table was covered with rocks. Or flowers the kids picked when they were outside. Or fall leaves. Once they had tadpoles harvested from a puddle outside.

Because there’s so much to explore when you’re little, the ideas for science tables are almost endless. It could be about any kind of animal you’re learning about in class, the weather, parts of a plant, space, holiday related activities like weighing and measuring pumpkins, it goes on and on. If you’re doing this at home (or even in a classroom) you can let the interests of the child/children drive what’s on the table and how often it changes.

If you need help with what to put on your science table, or if you’re wondering why having one is a great idea, at home or in the classroom, check out this post from Little Bins for Little Hands.

They happen to have a whole series of printables for science centers that you can buy, but there’s also a free printable of basic science tools in this post, and it’s full of good information on the hows and whys of science tables, even if you don’t buy anything.

The article notes there are all sorts of great things kids learn at science tables in preschool, including a basic understanding of science tools and the scientific method, ways of measuring and classifying things, observation, problem solving, teamwork and more. Lots of these skills have applications outside of science, as they can also help improve vocabulary, critical thinking skills and more.
