If that didn't happen, it's also fine to do it at the table. After reading about the 4 children, ask everyone to think about which child may have uttered their quotes then have them stick each quote on the appropriate sheet of flip chart paper. For example, \"Is there more to life than being really, really, good looking\" (*Derek Zoolander*) might be on the page labeled \"Simple Child\". </p><p>You can then have an interesting discussion about the quotes and where each guest put their quote, and if people disagree with where the quotes are placed. For example, when Pharoah asks the midwives why they didn't kill the Israelite babies, they lied: \"We're so sorry, your Majesty, but the babies are born so quickly that we never get there in time.\" This quote could be placed on the \"Rebellious Child\" page. Is it OK, in fact important, to be rebellious in certain circumstances? Should this quote be on the \"Wise Child\" page? </p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Original", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Four Children", "slug": "four-children" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 233, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Four Children Activity | Passover haggadah by Paula Feynman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

(*See directions below*)</p><p>Here are the traditional answers to get you started: </p><p><strong>Matza al shum ma - This matza! Why do we eat it?  </strong></p><p>To remind ourselves that even before the dough of our ancestors in Egypt had time to rise and become leavened, the King of kings, the Holy one Blessed be G1d, revealed G1dself and redeemed them. The Torah says: \"They baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had taken out of Egypt, for it was not leavened since they had been driven out of Egypt and coud not delay; nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.\" (ex. 12:39)</p><p><strong>Maror al shum ma? This Maror! Why do we eat it?</strong></p><p>To remind ourselves that the Egyptians embittered our ancestors' lives: \"They embittered their lives with hard labor, with mortar and bricks and with field work. Whatever the task, they worked them ruthlessly\" (Ex 1:14)</p><p><strong>Pesach - Pesach al shum ma?</strong> <strong>Why do we recall the </strong><strong>Passover lamb that </strong><strong>our ancestors sacrificed and ate?</strong><span>  </span></p><p>To remind ourselves that G1d passed over our ancestors' houses in Egypt, at this very hour, on this very date. As Moshe instructed \"When your children ask you, 'What do you mean by this ceremony?' you shall say: 'It is the Passover offering to G1d, because G1d passed over the houses of Israel in Egypt when G1d struck the Egyptians, but saved our houses...'\"(Ex.12:26-27)</p><p><span><br /></span></p><p><span><strong>Directions for activity:</strong> (*5 pieces of flip chart paper are hung up around the room. One says \"Matza\" one \"Maror\" one \"Pesach\" one  \"Karpas\" one \"Haroset\". Ask Seder participants what each of those symbols means to them. Write their ideas at the top of each flip chart. For example, for Matza one might say \"hurry\", for Maror \"bitterness\". Now give everyone post it notes and ask them to write down the activities they do each day, or in a week, or regularly. When done ask them to put their post it notes on the flip chart that it corresponds to. For example, someone might put \"Babysit my granddaughter\" under Charoset because it adds sweetness to their lives.*)</span></p>", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Activity is original, some text from \"A Different Night\" by Noam Zion and David Dishon", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Cup #2 & Dayenu", "slug": "cup-2-amp-dayenu" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 197, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Pesach, Matza and Maror Activity | Passover haggadah by Paula Feynman", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
