Teaching Children about Simchas

How Many Simchas can you think of?Hey kids! How many simchas can you think of that your family

celebrates? We’ve listed a couple to get you started:

Bar Mitzvah

Wedding

It’s easy to get wrapped in up life celebrations such as births, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs and more – but it’s also a great time to teach young children about simchas. It’s never too early to start traditions with young children or to teach them the value of celebrating life events.

If your family has a big celebration in 2014, start talking to your kids about it now and think of ways they can be involved in the celebration. For example, if a family member is getting married, maybe the kids can help shop for a wedding gift or make the wedding card for the lucky couple. New baby arriving soon? Time to start talking about why babies are such a wonderful part of the family and what the kids will be able to do with the baby as she grows.

The Simcha TreeHere’s a fun family craft activity for

celebrating life’s events:One family made a “thankful” tree for

Thanksgiving and put up leaves describing things they are thankful for leading up to Thanksgiving.

Consider a “Simcha Tree” with the same idea, where the kids can hang a paper ornament for every life event that they celebrate – a wedding, birth of a new cousin, their own bar mitzvah, etc. The tree

then becomes the family record of celebrating simchas together, as well as a lovely reminder of fun celebrations as the tree becomes adorned with more and more paper ornaments!
