Like What You See? Tell Your Friends!

Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday celebrated over 8 days. Also called the Festival of Lights. The kids will love learning about this holiday with our free Hanukkah coloring pages.

This year it is celebrated between December 7th and ends on December 15th, 2023. However, it changes every year, Hanukkah is always on the 25th day of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar, but it always occurs between the end of November and some time in December.

As we always like to learn about fun holidays in our homeschool (any excuse to pause the core curriculum!) I have shared with you some fun Hanukkah activities we will be doing.

We love creating free kids coloring pages, and we either use them as a supplement for a lesson we are studying or to calm the mood! Coloring is a great way for them to refocus and relax, and great for improving fine motor skills.

Printable Hanukkah Story for Kids

This free printable Hanukkah story is a great way to explain Hanukkah to kids while they have fun coloring in the Jewish images.

The story talks of the Maccabees and their fight for freedom. The first image to color in is the Israel flag as that is where the Maccabees were from. Judae is a mountainous area around the city of Jerusalem.

The Greeks wanted the Jewish people to worship their Greek Gods instead of their own God. But the Maccabees fought back and won.

MENORAH COLORING PAGE

The Jewish people went to light the menorah, a candle with 8 branches. But they only had enough oil to light it for 1 day. To their surprise, the oil lasted 8 days.

DREIDEL COLORING PAGE

The miracle is celebrated every year in the Jewish faith. Where families would add and light one candle every night until all 8 are lit.

Children would play with dreidels. These are small four-sided spinning tops with a Hebrew letter on each side.

Families would get together and eat potato pancakes, called latkes, and jelly donuts called sufganiyot.
