Camel גָּמָל

Climb aboard the camel and cross the summer desert with Gal & Galit! 🐪 This week's word is גָּמָל (gamal) — camel.

Week 3 of Fun Israeli Summer (קַיִץ שֶׁל כֵּיף) saddles up for a gentle desert adventure with two summer-loving dolphins who make beginner Hebrew feel like play. Your child traces, matches, and colors across the warm sand — meeting the camel, the sun, the moon, the stars, a cool drink of water, and a cozy tent along the way. Big, friendly, fully vowelized (nikud) Hebrew, with lots of white space and a translation on every page.

What's in this week (18 printable pages):

• 🎨 A camel coloring page + the Hebrew word גָּמָל (gamal)
• ✍️ Letter tracing, right-to-left with start-dots and arrows (this week's word: מַיִם / mayim — water)
• 🐪 "Desert match-up!" picture-to-word matching — camel, sun, water, tent, star, moon (with answer key)
• 🌀 A wind-the-dunes maze, an aleph-bet dot-to-dot, a secret-code cipher, and a desert word search — each with its own answer key
• 📖 A gentle weekly parasha page — Matot–Masei, the summer journey map of 42 desert stops, with the words אֵלֶּה מַסְעֵי ("Eleh masei — These are the journeys") to trace, a warm "Dolphin Debate," a buddy question, and a "Map the journey" activity (positive themes only — travel, home, and how every little step matters)
• 🛂 A Summer Passport page + a finish-line certificate

For ages 5-12 / K-6 — early and middle elementary learners who know their Hebrew letters and are ready to play with words.
