Akhlah- Passover
http://www.akhlah.com/holidays/pesach/passover.php
Passover, or Pesach, is a Jewish religious observance with many family traditions. At this site, you can learn about its rituals and stories as well as try puzzles, crafts, and coloring pages associated with the springtime holiday.  (5+)

Find the Afikoman
http://www.bus.ualberta.ca/yreshef/pesach/afikomangame/afikoman.html
Guide your players, David and Miriam, through the maze to the missing matzo, and then maneuver them safely home. Watch out for the hidden plagues scattered around the board. Keep an eye on your players' cartoon faces; if they "sense" danger, they turn red!   That's your clue to go a different direction. (5+)

HannuKat Passover

HannuKat helps “Bitter Herb” see the world in a new light. Try the home treasure hunt how-to, and chuckle at jokes such as the following:
Q. Where did HanuKat and MatZebra go to go dancing??
A. To the Matzoh Ball!! (5+)

Uncle Eli's Passover Haggadah
