What does "Give Light" mean?
It means giving time, talents, thoughts or money to causes you believe in. It may mean speaking up to injustice, supporting a friend or loved one in need - or something completely unique to you.

Give Light Poster and Banner
These can be displayed in a lobby, classroom or at a party to have people write the way they give light on yellow, orange and red Post-It Notes and stick them on as the "flames."
Six-word Memoir
Our popular and user-friendly exercise in creating six-words with intention. Use this tool at home or in your classroom to succinctly share what you will be doing to make the world a better place this holiday season.
Give Light sheet and bookmarks
Share how you will give light. These tools can be used by individuals, families or communities as they light the Menorah candles each night; it can be used in classrooms as an activity throughout the 8 days; it can be used at a Hanukkah party as a conversation starter - i.e. How do you give light to others in your life? We have designed these for easy at-home printing, with two sides back to back, and three to a page for easy cutting.
Give light coupon book
The pages of the coupon book can be used to give the gift of "light" to someone else during the holiday. Each coupon says, "On this night I give light by______as a gift to______." The printable coupon sheets can be given out to individuals or can be used in a hands-on craft. Participants can cut each of the coupons out, make a cover with scrapbooking paper and secure the pages with metal brads.
