A Bat Mitzvah birthday celebration signifies a true milestone in the life of a Jewish girl; one that can be made even more meaningful with the addition of some rollicking handmade games.
In the Magnificent Menorah game, groups of guests could be challenged to make beautiful Menorah models from materials such as colorful clay and painted wood. They could decorate their models with paints, markers, and even decorative stickers; only each Menorah should be inscribed with the name of the guest of honor, who will award prizes to the Prettiest, the Most Creative, the Most Sentimental, the Most Colorful, and the Most Traditional Menorah. Prizes could include chocolate driedels, miniature Menorahs, light up driedels, etc.
Another handmade game at a Bat Mitzvah birthday celebration could be the Ravishing Yarmulke game. As a Bat Mitzvah honors a young lady, it is only fitting that she should have a pretty, feminine yarmulke (the ceremonial headwear of the Jewish faith) to wear on this, the day of a most special occasion known as the Bat Mitzvah. Why not challenge teams of guests to come up with the perfect yarmulke for a fashionable young lady; using paints, markers and colored pencils, as well as stamps, stickers, and samples of fabric and lace to produce the most beautiful yarmulkes possible. The winning yarmulke will be the one that the guest of honor chooses to wear for the remainder of the birthday celebration. The person who creates this winning piece will get a decorative hand carved driedel.
Make any Bat Mitzvah even more fun with the addition of some homemade games. Mazel tov!
