Parshas Noach- Biology, Hilchos Kashrus, Writing, Drawing, Arithmetic, Geometry, Earth Science- All in One

For parshas Noach, I asked Rafi (5) and Moishy (3) if they wanted to hear and act out a parsha story. They were very eager to do so.
First, we sorted through the toys and took out all the blocks and animals and brought them to the table.

So I started telling them the story about Noach and the Teiva, and told them they were going to both be Noach. I told them about the state of the world during Noach's time, and that the world was so bad that Hashem wanted to destroy the world and start again.

I told them that as Noach, they should build a boat that is a big rectangle, out of the blocks, because Hashem was going to destroy the world besides for what was on the boat. Through trial and error, they figured out how to use the various shaped blocks to build a wall a few blocks high.

Then they filled it with the animals- two of the not kosher and 7 of the kosher animals. I explained to them what makes an animal kosher- chewing their cud and having split hooves, and explained a little about the anatomy of ruminants. We went through the animals and found which ones had split hooves and chewed their cud, and then tried to find 7 of those to put in the teiva.
Well, we don't have 7 of any toy animals, so we did a little subtraction- subtracting however many animals we had from 7, to see how many more we needed. We used paper to draw rough pictures of the different animals to complete how many animals were needed, labeled them so we'd know which was which, cut it out, and put it into the teiva. For the animals that weren't kosher, we put in only 2, and the rest of the animals of that type, we put "in the garbage" (a toy one), because those animals wouldn't survive the flood.

I told them about what the flood was like, but to give them a better idea of what I meant by a flood, I showed them a youtube video of a river overflowing and flooding a parking lot, washing away a whole bunch of cars, and the kids were awestruck.
I told them that that flood was nothing big. I showed them, then, a few videos of the tsunamis in Japan and South Asia, and they were amazed at the sheer magnitude of the thing.

We then learned about how tsunamis started via earthquakes, learned about earthquakes being started by plates of the Earth's crust shifting and banging into each other, which then transitioned into learning about volcanos, etc...

I put on two songs about Noach- a different version of this same song (can't find it now)-
The Lord Said to Noah There's Gonna Be a Floody Floody- be careful when looking for versions of this song- its a Christian song, and some of the versions are about "Y-w-h" told Noah, and yea... not kosher for frum Jews.
I also liked and played this song from 613 Torah Avenue on Parshas Noach.
