What is a Kibbutz? What makes this lifestyle so unique? This informative booklet has the answers and comes with a fun built-in activity that will bring the Kibbutz movement to life.
 
This 14-page booklet is carefully crafted to provide students with a thorough understanding of the kibbutz lifestyle. It covers topics such as the principles of communal living, the roles of community members, and children's housing. The booklet is presented in an age-appropriate manner for upper elementary school students with clear explanations, interesting facts, and historical images.
 
The hands-on activity will prompt your students to apply what they've learned by designing a map of their ideal kibbutz. The planning page prompts students to make important decisions, like whether they want to include children's houses, the types of businesses they envision, and the recreational activities they'd like to include. Through this process, students will absorb the lessons about the kibbutz movement while exercising their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, shaping a unique vision of an ideal community.
 
Once complete, students can present them to the class. They also make an impressive bulletin board display!
