Game 2: Red Cow Says (Like “Simon Says”)
Players: 2+

One child is Red Cow, and gives commands like:
“Red Cow says… moo like a rabbi!”
“Red Cow says… sprinkle imaginary ashes!”
“Touch your head!” (Oops! No “Red Cow says”—you’re out!)
Game 3: Tahor or Tamei?
Players: 2+
How to Play:
An adult or older sibling calls out silly scenarios. Kids shout back “Tahor!” (pure) or “Tamei!” (impure) and explain why.
Examples:
“You hugged a frog with peanut butter.” → TAMEI!
“You walked past a cow and said ‘Shalom.’” → TAHOR!
“You touched a human bone while eating kugel.” → TAMEI!
Use it to spark discussion about how wild and mysterious the laws of tumah and taharah really are!
