DON’T FORGET TO READ THE PURIM STORY!
You and your older children will get a kick out of reading and screaming along with “That’s How We Roll!” (Make sure to drown out Haman’s name every time it’s read!)
Younger children will have a great time making a scroll out of “The Story of Purim,” which features lots of images that can be colored. Tape or glue the pages together along the vertical edge. (Remember, page one goes all the way to the right!) Consider adding festive tissue paper or other decoration to the back of the pages so that the scroll looks pretty when rolled up. Attach the last page of the story to an empty paper-towel roll or other cardboard tube. Roll up the scroll and tie it with a special ribbon. (Or, glue one end of a ribbon to the back of the first page, for use not only in tying up your scroll but also for unrolling it.)
