Begin a session of your parent-child learning group with these entertaining Top Ten Seder Superheroes: http://babaganewz.com/funblog/top-ten-seder-superheroes. Ask parents and children to come up with three more superheroes together.
We lean on pillows at the Seder table to show that we’re free from slavery. Discuss the different meanings of freedom (physical, spiritual, and emotional) while parents and children craft unique Pesach pillowcases to bring to their Pesach Seder (http://babaganewz.com/activities/recline-in-style).
As you begin teaching about the values of Pesach, the Haggadah, and freedom, use music to enliven your programming with a little funk, a little blues, and a lot of rock 'n' roll. Teach families new tunes to incorporate into their Seder tradition, and encourage them to think about the words and lyrics. At http://babaganewz.com/music/pesach, you’ll find eleven songs for Pesach. Get printable lyrics and discussion questions for the songs at http://babaganewz.com/articles/let-freedom-ring-rock-and-roll.
On Pesach, the experience of taste is integral to the Seder. Use this article and lesson plan about taste buds (http://babaganewz.com/articles/taste-buds) and tasting stations at an intergenerational learning session to reflect on the objectives of the experiential components of the Pesach Seder.
