 Suggestions for Family Activities
“I see myself as a child even when I write for adults, the worlds of a child and poet are similar: A child can play, look at things with no mediation, directly, without any barriers…”
[S. Shifra, Interview with Ayin Hillel, Davar, May 1973]

Uncle Simha has a fresh and happy worldview, sings wholeheartedly, and loves both animals and life itself. The My Uncle Simha stories have become Hebrew children’s literature classics, and are now presented to the younger generation of readers for delightful reading.

  • A discussion full of delight Having read this book, you may enjoy a discussion about why, you think, Uncle Simha (Hebrew for joy) is named so. What about the things he does or says that make you smile?
  • Listening to My Uncle Simha Would you like to hear a story? Go ahead and scan the QR code to listen to the book My Uncle Simha. You may enjoy listening to it together while turning the pages whenever you like.
  • Happy songs Which songs make you happy? Perhaps you could make a playlist of all the songs that make your family happy, and sing along together. You could even sing in funny voices – a high-pitched voice, the deepest of basses, or a whisper – adding some dance moves for greater delight.
  • A confused game for a confused uncle Take turns asking a question while the other players try to come up with a “confused” response. For example: What’s your favorite drink? Tea with a touch of mustard! What do you do when it rains? Wear sunscreen! What sound do birds make? Where should we go on our next trip?
