On Seder night we try to feel as if we ourselves are being freed from slavery in Egypt. During a point in the evening when the younger people seem less engaged (perhaps after we read of the Four Children, until it’s time for the Ten Plagues), send them away from the table to find costumes and prepare their own play of the Exodus from Egypt.

They’ll have to work quickly! To make it more challenging, you could ask the adults to choose a new genre for the play, such as adventure, science fiction, or fantasy. The play can then be performed later on, during the meal.
