This Week’s Tip – Prepare Your Children for Seder
If you are hosting a Seder, and your kids are old enough to pay attention and participate, it will be helpful for you to give them an idea of what to expect.
If you are guests at someone else’s Seder table, and if you’ve never been before, you can review some of the basics.
For starters, you can review with them the three core concepts of Passover for young children, as described in “Celebrate Passover” – (a) emphasis on what is different – like matzah instead of bread, (b) using food as symbols – like parsley, salt water, and horseradish, and (c) telling stories – like the story of the exodus from Egypt.
You can also take advantage of the pre-Seder Family Discussion Guide that helps initiate a conversation about such issues as where the rest of your family will be celebrating Passover, how many people might be at the Seder, what common foods might be, and who might be asking the Four Questions.
Or make up your own discussion questions. The key is to let the kids know, in a non-threatening way, what to expect - who is coming to your house? what will they experience? what will they eat?
