Extend the Fun

For younger kids: Decorate two paper plates and staple the edges together, with dry beans inside, to make a tambourine. Roll another cone-shaped instrument to make a trumpet or a megaphone. Tape several empty paper-towel tubes together, end-to-end, to make an Australian didgeridoo.

For older kids: Do a little detective work and find out more about the shofar and the autumn festival of Rosh Hashanah, which celebrates the start of the Jewish New Year. How could you use a shofar to call attention to an event?
