Games can be a fun and effective way to learn nearly anything — including Hebrew.
The City Name game was our son Shem Tov‘s brilliant idea, and if I recall correctly, was first played on a family trip a few years ago. It’s educational, fun and can be played by the whole family. Simply translate the absurdly sounding English translated name of Israeli cities to Hebrew.
For example:
- Seventh Well > Be’er Sheva / באר-שבע
- Degrees > Maalot / מעלות
- Garden Heights > Ramat Gan / רמת-גן
Now it’s your turn!
Translate these 15 Israeli city names to Hebrew.
| Mermaid | Dove Village | View of the Galilee |
| Spring Hill | Streets | Sea City |
| Tower of the Valley | Head of the Eye | Grandpa Village |
| First of Zion | Entrance of Hope | Sons of Barak |
| City Eight | Glory of Sharon | House and Garden |
