Passover Games

Passover can be summed up as a festival of traditions, customs, rites and rituals. This festival brings together family for the fasts and feasts. Stories of exodus are narrated and children listen attentively to it. This helps everyone around the table to be involved and the entire effort becomes entertaining. Games on the eve of Passover are perfect to keep the tempo going and are handy to keep the children undistracted. The festival is viewed with great interest and calls for the participation of the youngest as well as the oldest. On this Jewish festival, people relive the moment of the harsh conditions of the slaves in the form of narrating stories and thank their Lord for their liberation. Passover games make the situation light hearted and help in socializing and opening hearts to each other in the true spirit of the joyous festival. Scroll further!

Games For Pesach Holidays

Buzz Passover Party Game
  • It is an old classic Passover game but with loads of fun.
  • Larger the number of players, the better. No preparations or materials are required.
  • Children are asked to sit in a circle, 'a buzz number' is decided and the players start counting in turn.
  • When any buzz number appears or any multiple of the number is reached, the player in question must say 'buzz' instead of the number, like say 4, 3, 2, and so on. Any player who makes a mistake must leave the circle, and the last player left is the winner.
Hands Up
  • This Passover game is fun to play and can be managed with a medium sized group of 10 -12 children.

  • The players on one side are the guessers and the players on the other side are the hiders.
  • The hiders have to pass a small object like a button or a coin from hand to hand under the table or behind the backs.
  • The passing through is kept a secret.
  • One of the guessers says out 'Hands Up”. The hiders must place their hands out in front of them.
