How to Play
Modeled after the much-beloved childhood game Snakes and Ladders, students read and race to the Land of Israel, while trying not to get blown down the hole of a shofar!
Students take turns rolling the die and moving their game piece that number of spaces. Upon landing on a space, players read the Hebrew word first.
When landing on a shofar, the player has to slide down and remain in that space until the next turn. On the contrary, players landing at the bottom of a ladder skip ahead by "climbing" to the top. The first player to teach the last space wins! The green arrows will guide players through the proper path.
