Directions

Introduce peulah to chanichim by teaching the amidah moments of lifting up onto toes for "Kadosh Kadosh Kadosh", the bended knee bow, and stepping three steps back and three forward.

In this tag game, the kids who are "it" can tag others by standing with their feet together, bending their knees, bowing, and then tapping them with their hands shaped like a siddur.

If tagged, you are frozen until at least two other players stand beside you and in unison, bounce three times on their tip toes saying "kadosh kadosh kadosh".

In order to move around, everyone needs to walk three steps back and three steps forward.
