Passover activity pack for Year 2 to Year 4 (KS1-KS2, Grades K-3): a 15-page booklet that tells the story of Passover in simple words and pictures, with a Seder plate craft, sequencing, matching, patterns and a hidden afikoman hunt. A gentle introduction to a Jewish festival for RE lessons and spring topics.

The story is told in two short parts: Long Ago in Egypt and A Journey to Freedom. Children talk about what happened, put four pictures in order and colour them, then colour and cut out the six foods of the Seder plate (zeroa, beitzah, maror, charoset, karpas and chazeret) and glue them onto the plate. In Where Is the Afikoman? they search a room for three hidden pieces of matzah, and Freedom and Kindness invites them to draw a kind action for someone else.
