- Take a blank piece of paper, your
pencil and ruler and create your grid.
Here's how:
Draw 8 vertical lines, that is going
downwards, and 6 horizontal lines, that is going across, equally
spaced . You should end up with a grid of 7 squares across and 5
downwards. A total of, yes, 35 squares. Feel free to get a parent
or older sibling to help you.
Now get this photocopied 12 times, maybe do a few extra in
case you make mistakes.
- Beginning with October, as this year Rosh Hashana falls on
September 29th, copy out the Hebrew and English dates in different
colors: The Hebrew date in the top right hand corner and the
English date in the bottom left hand side.
- Here's the fun part. Now stick each month's grid on your
colored paper, leaving enough space at the top for writing the name
of the month in Hebrew and drawing a picture of the Festival that
occurs in that month or any picture you like for the months
without a Festival. For Cheshvan/November maybe you'll draw or cut
out from a magazine, a picture of autumn.
- With a hole puncher, punch holes in the top of the calendar,
and thread string through the holes to hang it up in your room.
- Don't forget to mark family birthdays and special days in
special colors so that you can look forward to them.
- This would make a great present for someone..
