“In every generation they rise up against us, to destroy us and every time God saves us from their hands”

In the Purim story it was Haman who tried to destroy the Jewish people. This is your opportunity to knock him down!!

HOW TO SET UP YOUR HAMAN BOWLING


  1. Draw or print out several images of Haman - the kids can decide what they think Haman looked like, create many different versions of Haman or use images of ‘Hamans’ throughout Jewish history (other people who tried to destroy the Jewish people)
  2. Cut out the images so that they can be taped onto empty plastic bottles - water bottles, cola bottles - anything will work as long as the bottles are uniform
  3. Tape your Haman images to the bottles
  4. Line up the bottles in a triangle for bowling
  5. Get a soft ball and bowl a way! Show Haman who won in the end!
