Below are a few of the great online resources available for Tu B’Shevat at BabagaNewz.com.
Share this creative Tu B’Shevat ceremony with all of the families at your school: http://babaganewz.com/teachers/seeds-of-hope-tu-bshevat-seder. The festive Passover-like Tu B’Shevat Seder features teachings, wine, and the fruits of the Land of Israel. Families can also use the Tu B’Shevat Leaves activity as a conversation starter (http://babaganewz.com/teachers/tu-bshevat-leaves) at the table.
In honor of the New Year of Trees, begin a session of your parent-child learning group with this fun and informative slideshow of wacky trees: http://babaganewz.com/articles/wacky-tree-slideshow.
Suggest that families organize their own Tu B’Shevat family game night. They can play the Treevial Pursuit board game (http://babaganewz.com/activities/treevial-pursuit-a-tu-bshevat-board-game) or the online game Jewpardy: Tu B’Shevat Edition (http://babaganewz.com/games/jewpardy-tu-bshevat).
Ask parents to encourage their children in grades 3-8 to enter the Environment Art Contest. Information, official rules, and entry forms are available at http://www.babaganewz.com/envirocontest.
Distribute the recipe for Seven Species Dessert Bars (http://babaganewz.com/activities/seven-species-dessert-bars) to parent or student groups. These bars contact the seven species of the Land of Israel, plus milk and honey and are a great dessert or snack for Tu B'Shevat.
