Jonah’s Big Adventure | Yom Kippur Printable Coloring & Activity Pack

The story of Jonah offers a meaningful way to introduce children to some of the important themes of Yom Kippur — making choices, prayer, forgiveness, and the opportunity to reflect and begin again.

I created this printable activity pack to help children explore the story through different ways of learning: coloring, cutting and folding, a mini story booklet, a maze, word activities, and a spot-the-difference activity.

The pack also introduces the Hebrew word סליחה (Slicha) — forgiveness, with tracing and writing practice and a simple, child-friendly explanation of its meaning on Yom Kippur.

This printable activity pack invites children to color, cut, fold, search, match, and learn while discovering the story of Jonah and thinking about Slicha (סליחה) — forgiveness.
