Online PCJE Purim Resources

We’ve collected some useful links which contain resources and ideas for teaching Purim, at a variety of grade levels.

1) Dr. Suess style Purim play you can act out with elementary students or use as a commentary on the megillah.
2) G-dcast video which emphasizes Esther’s bravery in the Purim story (suitable for elementary and middle school). This video could also be used as an example of modern midrash with high school-ers.
3) Lesson plan for middle school-ers to interview characters in the megillah. This can be used as a class activity or an assessment.
