This week the kids made a Passover Lapbook. They worked on this together, it has contributions from all 3 kids!Working on our lapbook!
Here is the cover
I printed several of the Seder coloring sheets from the TorahTots website and my 12 year old wrote a little on each one to further illustrate what he learned about Passover:
Click HERE to see image of removing leaven:
The man is going through the house removing all leaven from the home. In the Bible, leaven represents sin. So the father of the house must find all leaven and burn it, and anything that touches it.
As Christians, we want to get sin out of our lives.
Click HERE to see image of the teaching plate:
This is the teaching plate. It has on it several things.
Horseradish
Charoset
Vegetables
A Lamb Bone
Chazeret
And a Roasted Egg.
These things represent different things.
The roasted egg represents infinity. No beginning, and no end.
The lamb bone represents sacrifice, but since the temple was destroyed, no one can sacrifice any longer.
The greens are dipped in saltwater, to remind us of the tears of the Hebrews.
The bitter Herb, Horseradish, reminds us of the bitter life of the Hebrews in Egypt.
Click HERE to see image of hand washing:
The washing of hands represents humbleness. To us it makes us remember Jesus, the king of kings, Lord of Lords, still humbled himself by washing his disciples feet.
Click HERE to view image os the dipping:
This is the dipping of the greens, which remind us of the bitter tears of the Hebrews
Click HERE to view image of Father:
This is the Papa, or Rabbi who leads the Passover. A respected male member of the family always leads the Passover.
Click HERE to view image Matzah:
Matzah is bread with no leaven in it. It is kind of like a cracker. The reason we eat Matzah is that when the Jews were freed from Egypt, they didn’t have time to make normal bread.
Matzah reminds us of Jesus. It is thin, no leaven, no sin. It has holes in it, Jesus was pierced with a spear.
One mystery of Passover is taking 3 pieces of Matzah (the Father, the Son, the holy Spirit.) Removing the middle piece and breaking it, hiding it, and after a while, all the children look for it. This reminds us of Jesus dieing, and rising again.
Click HERE to view image the cup:
During Passover we drink 4 cups of the fruit of the vine. (Wine, or Grape Juice.)
The cup of Blessing,
The cup of Plagues,
The cup of Redemption,
And the cup of Praise.
These remind us of different parts of the Exodus story of Moses.
Passover is a celebration, the seder has singing, dancing, eating, and much more.
But most of all, it is a time to remember we are free.
On the left is a worksheet about what foods have leaven that I did with my 6 year old. On the right are some worksheets my older son did.
On the back cover we wrote Next Year In Jerusalem! This is what is said at the closing of Passover.
