Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, lasts eight nights. Families light one more candle on the menorah each night, play the dreidel game for chocolate gelt and eat foods fried in oil, such as latkes and jelly doughnuts. In 2026 Hanukkah begins on the evening of December 4 and ends on December 12.
Four Hanukkah pictures to color by code. Every space holds a two-digit problem: students solve it, find the answer in the color key at the top, and color the space that color. Pages 1 and 2 are adding within 100 (latkes and applesauce, then a bowl of gelt), pages 3 and 4 subtracting (a dreidel, then an oil jug and a jelly doughnut), with and without regrouping. A space too small for a problem across shows it in a column, or just its answer.
Give scrap paper for the problems that need regrouping, or let students solve in the space when it is big enough. Pair students to check each other's answers against the key before coloring.
Solve a few problems together with tens and ones: 38 + 25 is 30 + 20 and 8 + 5. Then let your child color those spaces.

Hanukkah color by code pages with latkes and applesauce, a bowl of gelt, a dreidel, and an oil jug with a jelly doughnut. Children add or subtract two-digit numbers within 100 in each space and color it by its answer to finish the picture.
