Draw and label a picture of a seder plate in your exercise book in preparation for your next lesson.

You could find a picture in a library book, or follow the links. There are also some Jewish Passover seder games that you could play as you learn more about the Passover in preparation for our next lesson.

I would be interested in hearing your feedback – were these links useful for you? Did you play the game?
