Preamble

This section is designed to help the leader or educator teach Hebrew in a fun manner. When put together, these games can also comprise an evening activity. Separately, they can be used in Chugei Ivrit or in any situation where teaching Hebrew is a goal. The emphasis in playing these games should be on having fun, and on giving participants a chance to use Hebrew at the same time.

Hebrew word and song games have four purposes in the formal and informal setting, which are not necessarily about communication, vocabulary or language skills:

· To create or raise motivation to learn Hebrew, often by changing the image of language from foreign and unattainable, to familiar and useful;

· To give participants a hands-on experience with, or feel for the Hebrew language with a few words;

· To offer enhancement to study that is fun and interactive;

· To create an in-group code that will encourage group members to use Hebrew terms.

"Teaching Hebrew through Song" is available from the Bookshop on bookshop@jazo.org.il
