Guide Review
Learning Blessings is Fun!

Children will learn which prayer is said before eating bread, drinking wine, eating fruits, eating vegetables, and enjoying other foods. The meanings of the blessings, how to say the blessings, and why Jews say blessings is also taught. In addition, children learn about different food groups. Ten fun, 3-D, interactive, action-packed games keep children engaged in the program. All in all, children will have so much fun playing the fun games, they won't realize how much they are learning about the blessings.
