Linking Diaspora and Homeland to Solve
the Family Puzzle
Treasure
Hunt
A great activity for
families, school trips, camps, and clubs for people of all ages.
The objects of
everyday life are one way to begin to learn about the lives and times of
your ancestors.
1. If you live in
Palestine, look around your home or local heritage centers to see how
many of the following objects you can find. How many objects do you know the
names and uses of? Fill in the gaps in your knowledge by talking to older
relatives or asking at heritage centers.
2. If you live in
the Diaspora, Why not play this as a game at your next family gathering?
Or try to show the pictures to an elderly relative (Click to enlarge) and
see if they jolt any memories? Don’t forget to write them down.
