Printables for Passover

I already shared some Seder plate activities for Passover, but there are a lot more options out there if you are looking for Passover printables and activities for kids to enjoy.

Moms and Crafter is always a great source for Jewish activities, and it’s no different when it comes to Passover. In her Etsy shop she has Passover puppets (including Moses, Ahron, Miriam and Pharaoh), which kids can color and turn into puppets for telling the Passover story. She also has a printable Old Maid style/memory game with Passover items such as the plagues, Elijah’s cup and salt water. The chametz card serves as the old maid.

Tori Avey has free printable finger puppets designed by Brenda Ponnay and which represent the 10 plagues, which are an important part of the Passover story.

Planerium has a set of free printable coloring pages and worksheets including word searches and coloring pages showing the slaves in Egypt, Pharaoh and other parts of the story. Donuts and Devos also has free plagues of Egypt coloring pages you can download for coloring while talking about the plagues or listening to her podcast on the subject.

BAE Media on Etsy also has a printable coloring book for Passover. This collection has 20 designs to print and color including a Seder plate, matzah, Moses, each plate symbol and other important images for the holiday.

And if you’d like a full activity book to keep kids entertained and learning all throughout the Passover events, check out this Passover activity book from Kingsley Publishing. It includes 50 pages of activities, such as coloring pages, word searches, Elijah’s cup to decorate and more. These pages will help kids learn the elements of the Passover story while keeping them engaged (and hopefully quiet when they need to be!).

If you missed it before, in addition to the Seder plate crafts mentioned above, I also reviewed a couple of Passover books you might want to check out.

When my daughter was younger I would spend a lot of time trying to come up with activities she could do in the car on long road trips and things to entertain her when we were waiting at restaurants and things that didn’t involve screens.

But it turns out there are a lot of great activities you can do with just a piece of paper and a pen.

What Do We Do All Day has a great collection of pen and paper games, including some that can be done with just one person, though they’re all more fun if you have at least two.

There are some classics on here like hangman and dots and boxes, but there are also quite a few I hadn’t heard of before.

I don’t want to spoil the whole list for you because you should definitely click over there and look around, but I will share about the one that you see pictured above.

This game is called Bridges, and you start by making the big random shape and the dividing it into a bunch of sections (the post says 30-50 sections is ideal but I think this one is smaller than that).

Each player gets their own color marker and you take turns drawing bridges from one space to another, crossing a third. Once there’s a bridge, no other bridges can start, end or cross in those spaces. Keep going until no more bridges can be built, and the person who makes the last bridge wins.

Check out the post over at What We Do All Day for more great ideas for no or almost-no prep games you can play with your kids or that kids can play together. I’d love to know if you have a favorite paper and pen game, whether it’s on this list or a different one.
