Chukat . Middah/ Jewish Value Activity Early Years & Foundation Stage 0 - 5 Aharon, the Kohen Gadol, Moshe's brother, was known for his peace-loving nature - Making-up and being friends An early lesson we learn is to make friends again after we have had a disagreement. Sing this song about being friends and not fighting. Use actions such as index finger wagging (please don't fight), taking each other's hands (hold on tight), arm around the shoulder (best of friends etc...) Tune: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Please don't fight, it's not right, Take my hands and hold on tight. Best of friends we now will be If you'll come and play with me. Please don't fight, it's not right, Take my hands and hold on tight. Key Stage 1 5 - 8 In the parashah the Bnei Yisrael complained that they had no water. Hashem told Moshe to to speak to the rock to get water from it. Moshe, in his anger with the people, hit the rock instead, therefore disobeying God's instructions. He was not allowed into Eretz Yisrael as a punishment - Obeying instructions Play 'Simon Says' (listening to and acting upon instructions) OR Play the obstacle game, to show the importance of following instructions.Set up a simple 'obstacle course'. The children all sit well away from it. Choose two children - one to act as instruction-giver and one, lightly blindfolded, who will attempt to follow the course. The instruction-giver must give clear and precise instructions. The participant must listen very carefully and follow the instructions precisely so that they do not trip or fall. Key Stage 2 8 - 11 In the parashah we read of the death of Aharon, the Kohen Gadol. Aharon was known for making 'peace' - Looking for ways of making peace We all have arguments from time to time - it's human nature. The important thing is not to let a situation get out of hand and to learn how to calm things down. Drama activity Split the children into groups of two. Give five minutes to prepare a short scenario, giving each group one of the following situations: in the playground, in the lunch queue, brothers and sisters at home, on the sports pitch, in the children's service.The leader can stop the playlet at any time and invite all the other children to act as Aharon, and suggest ways of peacefully resolving the situation.
