cheesecake topping; and then pre-
pare it. Everyone can bring his or
her creation to the Shavuot table to
try (with the winner receiving the
largest piece of cheesecake).

15) Big Game: This project will
take some time and a lot of creativi-
ty, but almost no money — and it's
great fun! All you need is poster
board and markers, though you can
certainly embellish with stickers,
tiny trinkets; family photos and
more. So what are you doing? You're
making a family game.
The first question: What aspect of
Judaism do you want to focus on?
Since this is for Shavuot, consider
ways to incorporate any aspect of
the Torah you like. Maybe you're
interested in the biblical personali-
ties, or different mitzvot, or pivotal
events in history?
Now it's time to get planning. How
would you like the game to
progress? It's best to keep it simple,
since making a game is more work
than at first might appear. Also, fol-
low the example set by another
game that you already own. This
makes the designing a bit easier.
Cut poster board into a square to
create playing surface. Around the
edge of the board, make blocks for
playing spaces. The easiest way to
make a game is simply to write
questions ("Do not cook a kid in its
mother's
," for example) on
each blank space, then roll dice to
move. Whoever lands on the spot
must correctly answer the question.
If he cannot, he does not move until
his next turn. The first person to
the end is the winner.
Those are the basics. But you'll have
a lot of fun if you add more details,
especially those that are relevant
only to your family or that elicit a
personal response. You might add
bonus cards, with questions such as,
"Tell about a time someone in our
family did a great mitzvah," or
"Who is you favorite person in the
Torah?"
Meanwhile, make playing pieces by
cutting out cardboard shapes and
decorating them as family members.
Or make reduced color photocopies
of everyone in the family and affix
to cardboard. 0
