Brachos By Numbers

This is an innovative, active-participation brachos activity to help students learn the brachos rishonos and acharonos for many foods, or to see if they have mastered the various brachos. Students use a desk strip that has the different brachos with corresponding numbers. When the teacher calls out a food, the student raises the number of fingers corresponding to the number of that bracha. This allows for a kinesthetic, non-verbal review of the material. It can be used to prepare students for a brachos bee as well.
