Throwing a Passover party with kids in mind can be fun and satisfying. Keeping kids busy with arts and crafts and other fun activities will ensure everyone, even the little ones, has a great time. Here are some fun things you can do to keep the kids busy at your Passover party.
1. Passover Craft Station
Set up a craft area with materials for projects related to Passover. Give kids construction paper, crayons, stickers, and glue to make their own seder plates, matzo boxes, or covers for the Haggadah. These projects keep kids busy and allow them to make unique keepsakes from the party.
2. Passover Storytime
Set up a story time with Passover-themed books for kids of different ages. Pick stories that explain what the holiday is all about in a fun and easy-to-understand way. Encourage kids to talk about the story or act out parts of it after the reading. This will make learning fun and engaging.
3. Passover Bingo
Make a Passover-themed bingo game with cards that feature matzo, the seder plate, and the Red Sea as symbols and words connected to the holiday. Kids can learn about Passover while having fun with this game. Keep the fun going by giving small gifts to the winners.
4. Matzo Decorating
Put together a matzo decorating station where kids can use edible crayons, colored icing, and sprinkles to make their matzo pieces look cool. This project is fun and creative; the kids will enjoy a treat they made themselves. It’s a fun way to bring the traditional Passover bread to the party.
5. Passover Scavenger Hunt
Put together a scavenger hunt with clues and items related to Passover and hide them around your party space. Make a list of holiday-themed items, like a plush seder plate or a small matzo box. Give the kids hints on finding each item, and the hunt will be fun and informative.
6. Interactive Games
Add games with a Passover theme that can be played inside or outside. One idea is to have a relay race where kids bring a matzo on a spoon, or you could use beanbags to play “plague toss.” These games are great for eliminating extra energy and making the party more fun.
Final Thoughts
Having a Passover party with kids in mind can be fun and teach them new things. By planning activities like projects, storytime, and games, you can keep the kids entertained and interested. These suggestions will help you throw a happy party that the whole family can enjoy.
