Multilingual Word Search

Enter the Multilingual Word Search game and choose the language you would like to play in: English, Hebrew or Russian. There is an easy mode for the kids and a harder mode for us big kids. Each game is randomly generated. You can even print out a blank game (and the solution page) for offline playing.

My Jewish Coloring Book

Young kids love to draw and this online coloring book is made just for them. Three different size "brushes" and 24 colors to choose from. You can print the completed color pictures or print black and white outlines to color offline.

It's the classic Hangman game recreated in an online Flash version. If you expect your simple "hang the man by the rope" drawing then you are in for a surprise.
