Tour of Israel
Archeology Tour of Israel
Culture and History
We also watched a video that taught how to speak Hebrew. The girls and I discovered we would need a lot of practice before we would be able to speak fluently. Below is the video we watched.
Hebrew 101
We learned Israel leads the world in science.
I had the girls color a flag of Israel. They also completed a map of Israel.
Another really cool interactive map can be found here. For a craft project they made a matzah cover. There is a link here to a webpage with instructions so you can make your own matzah cover. The girls also made driedels. You can go here to print one out and make one too.
One fun thing we did was learning different ways to tie on headscarves. Oh my word did we find out it isn't something you just do so easily. We had to practice, but we loved the different ways to tie one and how it looked. The girls still like to get them out once in awhile and tie their headscarves on. We used this webpage to learn how. This page also gave a lot of information about why headscarves are worn.
We used a combination of several unit studies on Israel. They can be found here and here and here.
