Lego Land
Chanukah is right around the corner, which means it’s time for more hands-on fun and Jewish learning at Chabad!
Kids of all ages are invited to the “CKids Chanukah LegoLand”. The program will be packed with epic Chanukah games, activities, and crafts, featuring:
➢ “Menorah Madness” team competitions
➢ a “Mystery Maccabee Quest” adventure
➢ a “Spin and Stack” mega-dreidel showdown
➢ and a fabulous “Glownut Lab” (Yup, that’s glow-in-the-dark lego doughnuts!)
➢ Menorah Lighting and Chanukah sing-a-long
Each child will build their very own Chanukah Dazzler - an awesome light up lego-like Menorah. They’ll also receive Chanukah Superheroes cards to take home with them, encouraging them to be their own Chanukah Superhero by sharing more light and goodness in the world.
Join us in celebrating Chanukah the Chabad Center way, with joyful Jewish experiences and memories to last a lifetime.
