AN INTERACTIVE JOURNEY THROUGH THE STORY OF PASSOVER!

Are you looking for a fresh, engaging way to teach the traditions of Judaism? This Passover Pathfinder Mission turns a standard RE lesson into a logic-based adventure. Instead of just reading a textbook, your students will use their knowledge of the Seder tradition of finding the Afikomen to navigate a house map and find the hidden matzah!

The Mission:
It’s the first night of the Seder, and the leader has hidden the Afikomen (the special middle piece of matzah). Students must follow a trail of clues based on Passover traditions to move from room to room. One wrong answer means they’ve lost the trail and must re-read the facts to find their way back!

KS2 RE Curriculum Alignment
This resource is perfect for your Judaism unit, covering key concepts such as:
