-Ask everyone to share a special seder memory. Find examples of great seders in history.
-Don’t taste your finger after dipping it in the wine! The suffering of any people, even enemies, should never taste sweet to us
-Make a family tree of the Biblical characters to help with the telling of the story, from Abraham to Moses
-Make a family tree of your own family, as far back as you can go!
-Invite people to recount a story when they felt or witnessed discrimination or bullying. What did you do? What did you wish you did?

-Tell the story of the Exodus in a dramatic manner, and have the children mime or interpretive dance the events as you tell them.
