Holiday Unit, Pesah

On this page you will find:
  • A copy of the Pesah lesson guide from the most recent edition of the curriculum
  • Pesah ​​picture cards that you may download and print 
  • A video that illustrates the first of the Four Question lessons. Note that when learners complete the four 4Q lessons, they will have learned the meaning of almost all of the words in this ritual!  
  • A video with all the vocabulary pronounced and translated (look for the yellow screenshot). The video was posted to help parents hear and better understand the language that their children are bringing home! Feel free to share the link with them.
  • Word cards. Note that these are generally used in later years of Hebrew Through Movement study when children are working on Print Literacy through HTM. 
Happy teaching! ​

Pesah Vocabulary
SAMPLE VIDEO LESSON
Watch how Marcia teaches hametz/matzah and yoshvin/m'subin.  
NOTE: this lesson was filmed in the early years of HTM.
​We no longer recommend dividing children into groups of boys and girls. Use "k'vutzot" instead.
There's a 6 minute version, as well as the full 15 minute one;  both are of the same lesson.

Abridged Lesson: Pesah
[The 6 minute version]

Full Lesson: Pesah
[The 15 minute version]

PICTURE CARDS FOR
​THE seder PLATE

These photos illustrate HTM Pesah vocabulary from the most recent edition of the curriculum guide, Option 1. Check to see which photos match the words you are teaching then print those one-per-page, ideally in color. If you are teaching virtually,  send your children printed copies of these photos, 2 or 4 per page. While teaching you can ask them to "lift up" (להרים to show you)  the picture of whatever word you have said. Of course, also use real food items in your teaching.
