This workshop is part of our Early Childhood Education 2024-2025 professional learning drop-in series. This session will explore the ways in which early childhood educators can bring their classrooms to life through theater and play. The hands-on workshop will offer a range of techniques in the foundations of immersive theater, sensory storytelling, and imaginative play, while also unpacking how they can be utilized in Jewish early childhood classrooms. Together, we’ll explore how to make Jewish tradition more accessible and dynamic for young learners, and their families.

This workshop will focus on the Passover story, as well as other stories from the Torah.
