Hebrew Write the Room

Writing in Kindergarten should be a fun event! Over the past couple months, I've heard a lot about an activity called write-the-room. Basically, write-the-room is a secular activity where students search the room for hidden words and then write them down on a piece of paper using a clipboard.

It sounds like a blast to me! It gets the kids up and moving and also helps them practice their writing skills. 

I decided to create a Hebrew version for my class. I figured that I would make a write-the-room activity for each letter learned. I may not use all of them, but being prepared is never a bad thing. 

For each letter, I created two pages of "Hebrew words." Most of these words are actually nonsense (but some of them are real). I feel that nonsense words are OK for this activity, because the objective is not to learn Hebrew vocabulary but just to practice writing Hebrew. 

Side note: I created these activities with the assumption that the students are learning the Hebrew letters in alphabetic order. For example, the activity for aleph only uses the letter aleph--- yet the activity for tav includes most of the Hebrew letters.  I created the activity this way because I didn't want to overwhelm the students by having them write letters they haven't officially learned yet.
