Parshas Ki Sisa is packed with big moments—the half-shekel donation, the golden calf, and Moshe receiving the Luchos on Har Sinai. There’s so much to teach, and the best way for kids to connect to the Parsha is through hands-on activities!
That’s why I’m sharing a fun and interactive FREE ½ Shekel printable—perfect for math games, counting activities, and creative crafts. Download it below and use it in your classroom, home, or Shabbos table learning!
What’s the Significance of the ½ Shekel?
Hashem commanded every Jew to give a half-shekel coin to contribute to the Mishkan. Unlike other donations, everyone gave the same amount—rich or poor.
💡 Lesson for Kids: Every Jew is equally important, and we all contribute to the bigger picture of Klal Yisrael!
Now, let’s bring this mitzvah to life with engaging Parshas Ki Sisa activities!
