 Put the board you made on the floor.  
 
 
 


 
 
   Explain the rules of the game.there are 2 groups, each group has a color.the goal is to block a row on the board with their color.
The first group chooses a square.
tell them: “you chose a square with a mission / question”.
If it is a mission:tell them what the time limits for it and make sure they don’t go over it.
If the group succeded,put a paper with their color( on the square and move to the next group.if the group didn’t answer correctly / fulfill the mission the square stays empty and they could choose it again next time.

Step 4 – summary:
We are starting today a new year of activity in Bnei Akiva.It is very important for me (the madrich) that each one of you will cime to our next activity.follow the bnei akiva luach in your school and find out what time snif is at.
Don’t forget to come with blue and white.
Give the chanichim the paper with your and the rashei snif’s names and phone numbers.
 
 
This peula is mainly in order to have fun and that is the reason the summary isnt connected to the subject.pay attention to every chanich and try and as active as you can.
Good luck!
 
Ask your chanichim what are their expectations from you and from bnei akiva and write them down on motzaei shabat.
