Resource Contents

Shortly talk about Yaacovs sleep and dreem. Discuss things like the angles from Israel changing with those from out of Israel, speak about how all the land of Israel gathers up under Yaacov, and how he is prommissed the land of Israel for ever. Then get to the game with questions about Israel that is so spoken in this Parsha.

We're playing chutes and ladders!!!! Only with ladders

Remember that the parsha begins with Yaacovs Ladder.

Split them up into a few teams, and use keys or something for peices.  When a team arrives at the top/bottom of a ladder, they answer a question.  If they get it right, they either go up the ladder, or stay at the top (depending on where they are), and if they get it wrong they either stay where they are, or go down (once again, depending on where they are).  That's it. .
