Passover - Worksheet - Related Symbols | Planerium - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to figure out which images are related to Passover.

Passover is a Jewish holiday that remembers when the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt. There are special foods, objects, and symbols used during this holiday.

Here’s what we know about Passover:

- Matzah – unleavened bread (flat, cracker-like) – eaten because there was no time for bread to rise when leaving Egypt.
- Seder plate – has symbolic foods like bitter herbs, charoset, egg, etc.
- Haggadah – the book read during the Seder meal.
- Wine – drunk during the Seder (4 cups).
- Shank bone or lamb shank – symbolizes the Passover sacrifice.
- Egg – on the Seder plate, symbolizes mourning and renewal.
- Bitter herbs – like horseradish, to remember the bitterness of slavery.
- Charoset – sweet paste made of fruits and nuts, symbolizing mortar used by slaves.
- Parsley or greens – dipped in salt water to represent tears.
- Cup of Elijah – an extra cup of wine set for the prophet Elijah.
- Afikoman – a piece of matzah hidden and found later.
- Pyramid – sometimes used to symbolize Egypt (where they were slaves).
- Staff or rod – like Moses’ staff, used to perform miracles.
- Lamb – associated with the Passover sacrifice.
- Grapes or grapevine – related to wine.
- Olive branch – sometimes used as a symbol of peace or part of charoset ingredients.

Now let’s look at each image one by one and decide if it’s related to Passover:

1. Apple – Not directly related. Sometimes apples are in charoset, but alone? Probably not.
2. Wine glass – YES! Wine is drunk at the Seder.
3. Mask – NO. That’s for Purim or Halloween.
4. Pomegranate – Not specifically Passover. More for Rosh Hashanah.
5. Butterfly – NO. Just nature.
6. Hamantashen (triangular cookie) – NO. That’s for Purim.
7. Haggadah (book with Hebrew text) – YES! Read during Seder.
8. Pitcher – Maybe for washing hands? But not specific. Probably NO.
9. Matzah (square flat crackers) – YES! Essential for Passover.
10. Dreidel – NO. That’s for Hanukkah.
11. Noisemaker (gragger) – NO. For Purim.
12. Avocado half – NO. Not traditional.
13. Party hat – NO. Generic celebration.
14. Sock with hole – NO. Doesn’t relate.
15. Crown – NO. Maybe for Purim queen? Not Passover.
16. Shofar (ram’s horn) – NO. Used on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
17. Challah (braided bread) – NO. That’s for Shabbat, not Passover (we eat matzah instead).
18. Walking stick / staff – YES! Like Moses’ staff.
19. Olive branch – Possibly YES – olives can be part of charoset or symbolic.
20. Pyramid – YES! Symbolizes Egypt.

Wait — let’s double-check some tricky ones:

- Olive branch: While not central, olives are sometimes mentioned in connection with the land of Israel or charoset. But strictly speaking, it’s not a core Passover symbol. Let’s say NO to be safe unless clearly shown as part of Seder plate.

Actually, looking again — the olive branch might be meant to represent “greens” (like parsley) which ARE on the Seder plate. So maybe YES?

But in many coloring sheets, they include only clear symbols. Let’s stick to the most obvious ones.

Also, the egg is missing? Wait — there’s an avocado half — that’s not an egg. The real egg symbol isn’t here.

What about the lamb? There’s a sock? No. A crown? No. Actually, none of those are lamb.

Wait — the shank bone is often represented as a bone or meat — not shown here.

So final list of CLEAR Passover-related items:

✔ Wine glass
✔ Haggadah
✔ Matzah
✔ Staff (Moses’ rod)
✔ Pyramid (Egypt)
✔ Olive branch? Hmm… let’s check common worksheets.

Actually, in many educational materials, they include:

- Matzah
- Wine
- Haggadah
- Seder plate items (but we don’t have full plate)
- Sometimes pyramid for Egypt
- Sometimes staff

Also — the bitter herb is often shown as horseradish root or leafy green — we have an olive branch? Not quite.

Another thought: the avocado — could it be standing in for something? Unlikely.

Let me recall standard Passover coloring pages — usually they include:

- Matzah
- Wine cup
- Haggadah
- Seder plate (with egg, lettuce, charoset, etc.)
- Sometimes afikoman
- Sometimes Moses’ staff
- Sometimes pyramid

In this image, we have:

✔️ Wine glass
✔️ Haggadah
✔️ Matzah
✔️ Staff
✔️ Pyramid

Is the olive branch meant to be the "karpas" (green vegetable)? In some traditions, yes — parsley or celery is used. An olive branch is similar — so perhaps YES.

But to be precise, let’s see what’s universally accepted.

I think the safest answers are:

- Wine glass
- Haggadah
- Matzah
- Staff
- Pyramid

That’s 5.

Wait — what about the egg? Is there an egg? Looking back — there’s an avocado half — that’s not an egg. No actual egg drawn.

What about the charoset? Not shown.

Another item: the cup of Elijah — same as wine glass.

Also, the afikoman — not shown.

So I think the correct images to color are:

1. Wine glass
2. Haggadah
3. Matzah
4. Staff
5. Pyramid

And possibly the olive branch — but let’s confirm.

Upon second thought — in many children’s worksheets, they do include the olive branch as representing the greens (karpas). So I’ll add it.

Also — is the pomegranate related? No, that’s for Rosh Hashanah.

Butterfly? No.

Mask? No.

Dreidel? No.

Noisemaker? No.

Party hat? No.

Crown? No.

Shofar? No.

Challah? No — we don’t eat challah on Passover.

Avocado? No.

Sock? No.

Apple? Only if in charoset — but alone, no.

So final list:

✔ Wine glass
✔ Haggadah
✔ Matzah
✔ Staff
✔ Pyramid
✔ Olive branch (as karpas/greens)

That’s 6.

Wait — let’s count the images again from the picture description.

From top to bottom, left to right:

Row 1: Apple, Wine glass, Mask, Pomegranate → only Wine glass ✔

Row 2: Butterfly, Hamantashen, Haggadah, Pitcher, Matzah → Haggadah ✔, Matzah ✔

Row 3: Dreidel, Noisemaker, Avocado, Party hat → none

Row 4: Sock, Crown, Shofar, Challah → none

Row 5: Staff, Olive branch, Pyramid → Staff ✔, Olive branch ✔, Pyramid ✔

So total: Wine glass, Haggadah, Matzah, Staff, Olive branch, Pyramid → 6 items.

Yes.

Final Answer:
Color these images:
- Wine glass
- Haggadah (the book with Hebrew writing)
- Matzah (the square flat crackers)
- Staff (the walking stick)
- Olive branch
- Pyramid
