WORKSHOP – The Jewish Values Auction

$50.00

by Elaine S. Silver

The Jewish Values Auction is an exciting, thought-provoking, interactive values game which helps parents and children articulate their strongest family values in a Jewish context.  Each family, team, or individual receives a small inheritance in play money, a list of Jewish historical figures, and corresponding values. Each team must prioritize and strategize their bidding in order to win their desired attributes.  No prior knowledge is required.

Materials are delivered electronically. Print the lesson plans for yourself and your staff. Use our publicity flyer to e-mail to families. Printable worksheets ease your preparations for the day of the program. This workshop includes a mini Jewish Family Times™ as a send-home resource to reinforce program concepts.

This program weaves Jewish historical figures with core values and so much fun! Participants will walk away with new knowledge of history and the fun of interacting with each other in a completely different mode of action.
