🎶 Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah! meets a modern twist with these sound-sensitive light-up curtains! Not only do they brighten up our celebrations, but they also help my girls explore their power, volume, and creativity in a whole new way. 🎤✨

Sometimes, adding a fresh element to something familiar is all it takes to deepen engagement—and these lights are sparking so much joy in our home. Stay tuned for some sweet choreography at the end from my middle kid—Hanukkah vibes and dance moves for the win! 🕎💃

🎶 This Hanukkah, I brought (unused 😆) crab mallets (tiny wooden hammers) and jingle bell sticks into music to enhance meaning and engagement sharing Ellen Allard’s song “Judah Maccabee, the Hammer”! 🕎✨

The nickname “The Hammer” (HaMakabi) comes from the Hebrew word makav (מַקַּב) and symbolizes Judah’s strength, intention, and leadership during the Jewish revolt against the Seleucid Empire. While singing, the kids tap their “hammers” to the beat and aimed for the “nails” on their jingle sticks, building fine motor skills, rhythm, and musicality—all while celebrating Judah’s inspiring story!

Have you used meaningful props or music manipulatives to deepen engagement this season? I’d love to hear your ideas and keep the inspiration flowing! #jewisheducation #songleadingforkiddos #jewishmusic #jewishkids #jewishearlychildhood #chanukah #jewishkids #chanukkah
