Shoreshim in Motion

Grade/Class: Grade 2 Ivrit and Chumash

Context: Students learn root words in Ivrit to build their vocabulary

Learning: Did you know that grade 2 can read Chumash without even opening their mouths? Every time they learn a high-frequency shoresh, they choose a motion to help remember and translate it. When they encounter a word with this shoresh in the pasuk, they perform the motion! This interactive activity makes learning engaging and memorable, helping students strengthen their understanding and retention of Hebrew vocabulary through physical movement. For example, they might use specific motions for shorashim like ברכ, דבר, עשה, and ראה.
