Shivat Haminim with children

Learning Shivat Haminim with my children following the memory cards.
They enjoy to put names and images together and get used with hebrew names.
Tu B’Shvat is a Jewish holiday whose origins stretch back thousands of years, to the days when most Israelites were members of an agricultural society. In this vein, this series of Tu B’Shvat crafts and games attempts to bring the Jewish perspective to bear on agriculture and trees, and on how this life, its challenges, and the mitzvot connected to agricultural living can inform Jewish life today. For older children reflecting around the time of Tu B’Shvat is meant to provide classic material for discussion of contemporary issues of food (and its unjust distribution), social justice, and poverty.
Or see below the "Go fish" card names
Play the "Go fish" card names
How to Play:
1. The object of the game is to collect the most Shivas Haminim “books.”
2. Similar to the game Go Fish, students need to collect four cards for each of the
Shivas Haminim to make a “book.” These four cards are:
• A picture of the min
• A photograph of the min growing
• The name of the min in Hebrew
• The name of the min in English.
3. The card dealer deals five cards to each player. The remaining cards are placed
face down in a stack.
4. The player sitting to the dealer’s left begins the game.
5. A turn consists of asking a specific player if they have cards from a specific min.
The player who is asking must already hold at least one card from that min.
6. If the player who was asked does have cards from that min, he must give all of
those cards to the player who asked for them. The asker then gets another turn
to ask a specific person if they have any cards from a specific min that he has
too.
7. If the person asked does not have any cards of the min he was asked for, he
says “Go Fish!” and the asker then draws the top card from the stack of cards. If
the drawn card is of the min that the player asked for, he shows it to the other
players and gets another turn. If the card is not of the min he asked for, he keeps
the card, but does not get another turn. It is then the turn of the person sitting to
his left.
8. When a player has a “book” of four cards of a min, he shows it to the other
players and places it face up next to him.
9. The game continues until someone has no cards left in their hand or the stack of
cards runs out.
10. The winner is the player who has the most “books” of Shivas Haminim!
