Trigger

1. Give out coloured jigsaw pieces to get into groups

2. In groups, ask what TIKKUN OLAM means (‘repair the world’; making the world a better place)

3. Say that there are a lot of things that are wrong with the world

In groups write down on bits of paper
- bad things people do
- bad things about the world
- bad things about themselves

These will then be mixed in with some pre-written critiques

4. Introduce game board (concentric circles) and the different areas of the world that need repairing

Then as a group the chanichim must go through the bad things and position them on concentric circles according to whether they are things they must change about:

a) themselves
b) their communities
c) their societies
d) the Jewish people, or
e) the world
