​A Taste for Noah, by Susan Remic Topek ​

Song – Passover Song (to the tune of “London Bridge”)
 
Moses freed the Jewish slaves, 
Jewish slaves, Jewish slaves, 
Moses freed the Jewish slaves, On Passover. 

He told the Pharaoh let them go.....
He told the Pharaoh let them go, On Passover. 

Moses parted the Red Sea..... 
Moses parted the Red Sea, So they could be free. 

He led them safely to the shore..... 
He led them safely to the shore, 
Slaves they'll be no more!

Activities –

• Decorate a Kiddush cup – ceremonial cup used at Shabbat and Passover

Find a plastic cup and cover it with foil.  Decorate it with markers, or cut out pieces of paper and glue them to the cup.  Be creative and make your cup look beautiful!

• Matzah Rubbing –  You will need some paper and some crayons.  Find something with a bumpy surface.  Place your paper on top and rub with a crayon.  What textures can you see?  Does it look like matzah?  Try another texture.  Some suggestions include a lego board, a placemat, the bottom of your shoe…

• Prepare a meal –

Get out a bowl, a wooden spoon,  and some pots and pans.  What will you make for dinner?  Will you make charoset?  Add all your pretend ingredients to the bowl and mix well.  Does it need to bake?  When it’s done, get some plates and serve your meal. ​

• What are you grateful for? –

Think of something you are grateful for and draw a picture.  Have a grownup write your thoughts on the page, or if you are older and wish to write them yourself, do so.
