Passover Lapbook Lessons

Here are some sample lessons from the Passover study and lapbook.

Story of Passover
You can read the story, or just retell it in your own words. Your child can narrate the story with The Passover Story Book.

Seder Plate
What’s Included in the Seder Plate?

Karpas- anherb, like parsley or celery. Passover is a holiday that comes in the spring. This vegetable represents that all life is created and sustained by the creator.

Maror- bitter herbs, fresh grated horseradish, romaine lettuce, endive, or dandelion. This vegetable represents the bitterness the Israelites felt when in bondage to Egypt and to remind us of the bitterness we felt when in bondage to sin. When eating this herb often it will bring tears to eyes; these tears are a reminder of the sorrow the Israelites felt as well as the sorrow sin brought into our lives.

Kharoset- a mixture of apples, nuts, honey, and wine. Israel labored under the bondage of slavery making for Pharaoh a beautiful city with brick and clay. We remember this labor in this mixture made from apples, honey, nuts, and juice as it resembles the mortar. There is a sweetness to this mixture; the sweetness of deliverance brought to Israel.

Roasted Egg- This is a traditional food, with many symbols. Traditionally it was used as a replacement for the sacrificed lamb.

Shank Bone- This is a roasted shank bone of a lamb or chicken. Roast it over fire and remove meat. It represents the outstretched arm of deliverance.

Bowl of Salt Water- This is not found on the Seder plate but is part of the Seder celebration. The vegetable is dipped in the salt water. It represents the salting tears that Israel cried under the bondage of Egypt and the salty tears we shed so because of the bondage of sin.
