Take your students inside life on a kibbutz, where resources are shared, jobs are communal, and children are raised together. In this lesson, students will learn what daily life was really like, from dividing the community's work to growing up in a children's house rather than at home with their own families, and how the kibbutz movement has shaped modern Israel.

The booklet also includes a built-in activity in which students will apply what they have learned by designing a map of their own kibbutz. A guided planning page walks them through the planning process, such as which community spaces and children's houses to include, which types of businesses and jobs to offer, and what recreational amenities to add.

After completing their maps, students can present their designs, explain their choices, and compare how their classmates organized their kibbutzim.

Assembly is simple. Print and fold the booklet, and add colored pencils. No cutting or glue required.
