Making Passover Memories

Make Your Passover Seder Something to Remember!

With Puppets:

If your children are not old enough to read, help them make popsicle stick puppets of the characters in the Passover story before the seder. (You can use our Passover Paper Doll cutouts (order here) and tape them to popsicle sticks or straws). Then your children can participate by acting out the story with puppets.

With Autographs:

Have your guests sign the inside cover of their haggadot before your seder begins. That way, you’ll have a record of who used each haggadah through the years. Looking back, you’ll remember relatives, friends and guests who were with you.

With a Passover Memory Book:

Keep a yearly list of your guests, what was happening in their lives, new babies in the family, and funny things that were said at each seder. You can use our Passover Memory Page, (ready to print), and keep it with your haggadot. You’ll see who shared Passover with you each year, changes in the family, and remember happy times.

With a “Four” Question:

Ask your children to keep track of how many times the number four appears in the haggadah.

With Afikomen Fun:

Decide in advance where you plan to hide the afikomen. Write out a clue about its hiding place, but cut it into puzzle pieces. Hide the puzzle pieces. Have the children find and put together the puzzle pieces to get the clue to the hidden afikomen.
Variation: Have a series of hidden clues that lead to the afikomen. Give the children the first clue, and let them find the rest on their own.
