This project can be done by a class or by each student. When sharing the story at a Megillah reading, consider utilizing the following strategies to increase engagement:
Choral Reading

Story Retell
Additionally, Give out stick puppets that match the
illustrations in the Megillah so that students
can participate in the story-telling and
subsequent songs
