What They Carried

Jewish Communities Around the World · Grades 3–4

How to pack the suitcases

  1. Cut along the dashed line across the middle of the page. Then cut the 16 cards apart.
  2. Read a card. Look in the key under your map to find which community it belongs to.
  3. Glue the card into that suitcase. The suitcase has the same number and color as the dot on the map.
  4. When both cards are packed, write the community's name on the tag.
