In the Torah, parents tell the Passover story to their children in
different ways. The Haggadah tells us that’s because the children
themselves are different. People learn stories in many different ways.
These four children are examples of different ways to ask and answer
questions about Passover. As you read about them, try to think of
other questions someone might ask about the seder and the story.
What parts of the seder are you curious about?
You can also think about different ways someone might tell the story
to help everyone learn it. How can food help us tell the story? How can
songs help? How about pictures? What are some other ways you or
other people might like to learn a story?
