For Purim a Quiet Megilla Bingo Game birkatchaverim.com on Purim character backdrop.

A Quiet Megilla Bingo Game

This quiet Megilla bingo game is for children who find Megilla reading a little too long, despite all the fun in making noise when hearing the name, Haman.

The advantages of I Spy Mishloach Manot are they are easy to prepare, which was really important last year as I was about to have a baby.
