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.
You will also enjoy our Greek God family tree worksheet!
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.
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.
Hanukkah is celebrated for 8 days sometime in November or December. Happy Hanukkah!
