The weeks before Pesach - Celebrating the festival of Pesach The word 'Seder' means 'order'. Print Resource Pages 1 and 2 which have the 15 numbered 'steps' of the Seder. Cut the sheet up so that you have 15 small cards.

The children are given one card each, without showing it to anyone else.Without the leader saying what the 'step' is, number one goes to the front and mimes the activity. The others must say what it is. Repeat this with all 15 'steps'. Do the children know how to chant/sing the order as an aide-memoire?
