CELEBRATING PURIM
The March IN SEASON Family Tree celebrates Purim which will occur from sunset on Wednesday, March 16th through sunset on Thursday, March 17 (in 2022.)
By publishing this post we are gently letting you know – it is time to start planning! This is your Purim reminder for March.
PURIM PARTY PLAN
We are having a Purim party at our house!
Our grandkids are all invited as well as any other kids in the neighborhood who want to join us!
This family tree will hold most of the things we will use at our party. It will be displayed in the kitchen (as usual) and all the children can congregate around the kitchen table for refreshments; afterward they will begin to observe and use the things from the tree for our Purim party celebration.
THE STORY
The story of Esther is the most important moment of the whole party. We have found a wonderful book (displayed under the tree) from which to read the story.
We will put each character in the story’s name inside a cup and let all of the children draw. Whoever gets the name for the masks on the tree will play those parts. They will take their mask down from the tree and use it in the play.
PARTICIPANT’S ACTIVITIES
The rest of the children will be participating in the audience. Whenever Esther speaks they will clap their hands. When Mordechai speaks they will yell “yea!” Whenever the King speaks they will stand up and bow and whenever Haman speaks they will yell “boo!”
It will be a fun party!
DOOR PRIZE
The children will vote on the best actor after the play and that person will win a beautiful megillah to take home with them.
You can have a tree for your party too!
