Creative Ideas for Rosh Chodesh Elul in Your Classroom

As Rosh Chodesh Elul approaches, it’s a great time to introduce activities that help your students connect with this important month. Here are some ideas and resources that can make your Rosh Chodesh engaging and educational.

1. Elul Puppet & Coloring Page Set

Introduce the concept of the King in the Field with our Elul Puppet & Coloring Page Set. This activity is perfect for illustrating the idea of accessibility and humility during the month of Elul. Your students can color the King in the Field coloring page, making this abstract concept more tangible and relatable.

2. Jewish Months Coloring Page

Our Jewish Months Coloring Page is a versatile tool that can be used in a variety of ways. For Rosh Chodesh, consider using it to create crowns that each child can wear to celebrate the new month.  Alternatively, use it as a monthly coloring sheet to mark the beginning of each new month, helping children familiarize themselves with what’s coming up on the Jewish calendar.

3. Monthly Self-Portrait Book

Each Rosh Chodesh, invite your students to draw a self-portrait in our Monthly Self-Portrait Book. This ongoing project allows children to reflect on their growth and changes throughout the year. At the end of the year, this book becomes a special keepsake, giving both students and parents a visual journey of how much they’ve grown. Read a more in depth post about the self portrait journal, here.
