Hanukkah at Work Kit: Planner, Excel Schedule, Messages, Cards, Bingo and Trivia

Plan Hanukkah at work without guessing

Hanukkah follows the Hebrew calendar, so the dates move every year, and the evenings can fall on a Friday before Shabbat. This kit gives HR teams, managers, office managers and small business owners one place to plan the time off, the schedule, the event and the messages, so the whole thing is respectful, optional and ready to run.

At a glance

• 12 explanation cards, 12 bingo cards and 40 trivia questions with an answer key
• A 10-slide editable deck: Hanukkah in five minutes

What is inside

Planning System (PDF)

The eight nights grid, ask-first guide, scheduling and accommodation checklist, timeline, roles, budget sheet and a review page.

Excel Planner

Type the first evening and the dates, weekdays and notes fill in. The meeting checker flags late Friday meetings. Summaries count RSVPs, diets, tasks and requests.

Messages, Invitations, Emails and Deck (Word and PowerPoint)

Edit the brackets and send. Includes manager scripts for time-off requests and for asking a Jewish colleague what they would like.

Cards, Bingo, Trivia, Dreidel Poster and Signs (PDF)

Print and use. Every activity is optional by design and the dreidel game is played for points, not money.

HR and people teams, managers, office managers, team leads, small business owners and remote team leads who want to mark Hanukkah well.
