Passover Lesson Plan

Dear Sis,

I’ve been working on our lesson plan for Passover. William is 2.5 now and has a great attention span for short stories, simple crafts and activities. I’ll probably reuse the basic outline and many of the ideas in years to come!

Evening Before Passover

  • Reading from A Child’s Garden of Torah by Joel Lurie Grishaver
    • Story 17: Baby Moses (pages 71 – 77)
    • Story 18: The Burning Bush (pages 78 – 80) 
      • Standing Burning Bush to Color and Cut (I backed ours with card stock before cutting it out for extra rigidity)
    • Story 19: Ten Plagues of Egypt (pages 81 – 84) 

Day 1

      • My Ten Plagues Booklet to Color, Cut, and Staple (Mom edits listed below)
        • Plague 3: Lice instead of Knats
        • Plague 4: Wild Animals instead of Flies
        • Plague 5: Noting that the Livestock is “Sick”
        • Plague 7: Noting that the hail was both “Fire” and “Ice”
        • Plague 9: Noting that the Darkness lasted “3 Days”
        • Plague 10: Adding Label “Death of First Born” along with the Passover Title

  • Plague 1 Activity (Water to Blood)
    • Snack: Red Jello with Swedish Fish
      • Symbolizes how the waters of the Nile were turned into blood, killing the fish.

Day 2

  • Plague 2 Activity (Frogs)

Day 3

  • Plague 3 Activity (Lice)
    • Put sprinkles (pretend lice) on a very fluffy stuffed animal for child to pick off.

  • Plague 5 Activity (Sick Livestock)
    • Medical Kit for pretend play with stuffed livestock animals.

Day 5

Day 6

  • Plague 7 Activity (Fire and Ice Hail)
    • Red and White Balloons
  • Plague 8 Activity (Locusts)

  • Plague 9 Activity (3 Days Darkness)
    • Flashlight
  • Plague 10 Activity (Passover/Death of First Born)
