Hi there! Today, we’re going to learn about a special holiday called Hanukkah. It’s also known as the Festival of Lights. During Hanukkah, people light candles on something called a menorah. Let’s find out how many candles we light each night!
On the first night of Hanukkah, we light one candle. Can you say “one”? Great job!
On the second night, we light two candles. Let’s count together: one, two!
On the third night, we light three candles. Count with me: one, two, three!
On the fourth night, we light four candles. Let’s count: one, two, three, four!
On the fifth night, we light five candles. Count along: one, two, three, four, five!
On the sixth night, we light six candles. Let’s count together: one, two, three, four, five, six!
On the seventh night, we light seven candles. Count with me: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven!
On the eighth and last night, we light eight candles. Let’s count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
Hanukkah is a time for family, fun, and lights! People play games, eat yummy food, and enjoy being together. Now you know how many candles we light each night. Happy Hanukkah!
Make Your Own Menorah: Gather some craft supplies like paper towel rolls, construction paper, and glue. Create a simple menorah by cutting out candle shapes from the construction paper. Each day, add a new “candle” to your menorah. As you add each candle, practice counting them together. This will help you remember how many candles are lit each night of Hanukkah!
Candle Counting Game: Use small objects like buttons or blocks to represent candles. Each child can take turns picking a number card from 1 to 8 and then placing the corresponding number of “candles” in a line. After placing the candles, count them out loud together. This game helps reinforce counting skills and the sequence of candle lighting during Hanukkah.
Observe and Share: Ask your family if you can help light the menorah at home or watch a video of a menorah being lit. Notice how the candles are added each night. Afterward, draw a picture of a menorah with all the candles lit and share it with your class. Talk about how it feels to see the menorah fully lit and what you enjoy most about Hanukkah.
