A Useful Resource

Something that is not a website, but a fantastic one-of-a-kind resource! This resource, called Tiny Tots Service Roleplays, was created by a member of Edgware United Synagogue, Allen Martin, in memory of his father. It lists a precis of the weekly Sedra stories and Festivals, from a child's perspective and ideas for roleplays for the whole year. He created files of pictures and suggests you can easily create your own by using children's pictures from the Internet. He mainly used the following link - and entered a keyword for the pictures, then cutting, copying and pasting into Powerpoint before printing.

You can obtain the Tiny Tots Service Roleplays as an Excel file attachment, by requesting it from the AJE at harayon@aje.org.uk
