Fun ways to develop Hebrew language skills:

1. Labeling:
Label everything in the house with its Hebrew name. You can make a game out of this by preparing the labels and letting each child label as many objects as he/she can.
Look up any words you don't know in a dictionary.

2. Word of the day:
Choose a commonly used word, in Hebrew, and everybody in the house has to use it as much as possible during the day. Anybody who uses the word in a sentence gets a star by his name on a chart. At the end of the day, the one with the most stars gets a prize – or gets to choose next days word.

3. Learn a song:
Find a song in Hebrew and learn the words to it. Make sure you understand the song!!
There is a nice website with words to Hebrew songs: www.shiron.net
- For parents of younger children: there is a book /cd / video / DVD called:  מאה שירים ראשונים . Many of these are songs the children will learn in gan.

4. Cooking in Hebrew:
There is a very nice cookbook in Hebrew for kids called: ילדים מבשלים .
You can also try the following: www.aish.com/family/cooking/Summer_Vacation_Cooking_for_Kids.asp
www.bishulim.co.il – lots of recipes and ideas. Try the פינת הילדים for ideas for cooking with kids. 

5. Interesting websites:
www.sod.cet.il – letter recognition, rhyming, and more.
www.nivon.net/nivon: Hebrew-Hebrew dictionary of idioms, sayings and proverbs.
http://lms.cet.ac.il/units/science/index.aspx: science website in Hebrew for children. (All in Hebrew)
