Animal Crackers Lesson Plans

Help your congregation members see themselves as part of the global family and gain a deeper appreciation of the ways Heifer helps people, animals and plants live in harmony with God’s good Earth.

Animal Crackers is a complete set of lesson plans for Christian or Jewish spiritual studies. This exciting educational fundraising program features five sessions for children, youth and adults on the topics of Hunger and the Bible/Tanakh, Animals, People and their Needs, Land and the Environment, and Passing on the Gift.

Animal Crackers gives you 80 pages of stories, songs, intergenerational activities and crafts. A pull-out poster and world map invites enrichment activities. Animal Collectors Cards show and describe the role of a Heifer animal or tree. Program and cards are available in Christian and Jewish congregation versions.

Designed to enhance your spiritual studies program, Animal Crackers allows students to raise money to send a heifer, sheep, goat, water buffalo, flock of chicks or other animals to a struggling family.
