A Kid-Friendly Passover Seder

Spice up your seder traditions with FamilyFun

Passover, the week-long celebration of the Jewish Exodus from Egypt,seder opener has always been my favorite holiday. Jewish families and friends celebrate Passover with a seder, or ritual meal, during which the story of Moses and the Exodus is retold through words and symbolic foods.

Even though the core of the Passover seder is the passing on of the Exodus story to the children, it can be a challenge to balance the numerous rituals that make up the meal with the needs of kids, who get squirmy faster than you can say "Let my people go." To make the seder night more kid-friendly and interactive for my own children, I retooled a few of the old traditions and added a few new ones.
