Digital Shofars and Ladders for Hebrew Reading Practice

Be the first one to get to the land of Israel, but try not to slide down the shofars along the way!

Shofars and Ladders is a dynamic alternative to developing Hebrew reading skills, in comparison to the standard, line-by-line, reading drills offered by slides in distance learning slides and digital books.

What's included:

​​​​​​​2 Digital Game Boards formatted in Google Slides, with over 70 words altogether! See the preview for the list of words.

Board 1: Level 2 Hebrew reading practice

Board 2: Level 3 cholam vowel practice. 

A collection of fun digital game pieces, including gummy bears and cars!

Modeled after Snakes and Ladders, "Shofars and Ladders" is played by the same rules. However, in this Hebrew edition, players strengthen their Hebrew reading skills while racing to the land of Israel. Just be extra careful not to slide down a shofar along the way!

How to Play: Place counters at the start. Roll the (free) Chrome dice extension and move that many spaces. Upon landing, read the Hebrew word on that space. When players land on a ladder, they skip ahead by climbing to the top of it. However, if they land on a shofar, they need to slide back down to the bottom.
