Have you ever experienced a Passover Seder? For many, Seder meals are not a common part of their typical Holy Week traditions. To help children understand what was eaten during this meal, here is a game that reviews the traditional food of the Seder meal.


Musical Chairs

Introduce game: Who ate with Jesus at the Last Supper? His disciples. Let’s see if there are enough chairs for everyone to sit. (Play Musical Chairs)

Line up alternate facing chairs, one less than the number of children playing. (Example: If there are 10 players, place 9 chairs). The players move round the chairs while the music is on. When the music stops they have to sit down on a free chair. The player without a chair is out and let that player be the one to stop the music the next time. Remove one chair each time the music is played. Repeat until you have only 2 players and 1 chair. The one to sit down first on the last chair is the winner.

Last Supper File Folder Game- Play individually or in teams and work your way around the game board answering questions about the Last Supper. If you are correct you roll a die and move your marker in your row in any direction you want. If you land on a colored space, you can move one row toward the center with “Last Supper”. Play continues until a team or player reaches “Last Supper”.

Questions about the preparation of the Passover (Mark 14:12–16)
• How does Jesus' foreknowledge affirm his divinity?
In this passage, Jesus gives very specific instructions to his disciples to find the room for the Passover. This ability to see the future and orchestrate events—including his own impending betrayal—reinforces the Catholic understanding of his divine sovereignty.

• What is the connection between the Old Covenant Passover and the New Covenant Eucharist? The Last Supper was a Passover meal, marking the transition from the old covenant to the new. The Passover commemorated the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt. How does the Eucharist fulfill and transform this tradition by signifying our deliverance from sin through Christ's sacrifice?

• How can we better prepare ourselves for the Eucharist? In the passage, the disciples are told to prepare the Passover meal. In Catholic theology, this inspires the question of how we prepare our hearts and minds for Mass. Do we take the time to quiet our thoughts and reflect on the sanctity of the ritual?


Questions about the institution of the Eucharist (Mark 14:22–26)
• How can we accept Jesus' words "This is my body" and "This is my blood" literally?
This is a central question for Catholics. The Church teaches the doctrine of transubstantiation, that the consecrated bread and wine actually become the substance of the body and blood of Christ, though the outward appearance remains the same. How does faith allow us to accept this mystery, despite the arguments against a literal interpretation?

• How is the Eucharist a re-presentation of Christ's sacrifice on the cross? The Catholic Church teaches that the Mass is a re-presentation, or making present again, of Christ's sacrifice at Calvary. It is not a new sacrifice but the same one made present across time and space. How does this belief help us understand the singular, eternal nature of Christ's offering?

• What is the "real presence" and why does it require adoration? For Catholics, Jesus is truly present—body, blood, soul, and divinity—in the Eucharist. This belief is why the consecrated host is revered and adored outside of Mass. What does this deep spiritual and physical union with Christ in the sacrament do for the soul?

• What does it mean that Christ's blood is shed "for many"? Some interpretations question if the word "many" excludes some people from salvation. Catholic understanding, however, reads this as a "Semitism" meaning "for all," or designating the group that will benefit from Christ's sacrifice, which is ultimately available to everyone.

• How is our communion with Christ connected to our communion with each other? By receiving the Eucharist, the community of believers becomes one body in Christ. How does receiving Christ, especially alongside those we may dislike or struggle with, challenge us to live out the meaning of Christian charity and unity?

• What does it mean to receive the Eucharist "in an unworthy manner"? Paul addresses this in his letter to the Corinthians, which discusses the Last Supper. Paul is not speaking about being without sin (since communion is for sinners) but about a failure to recognize the full significance of the Eucharist and the Body of Christ, which includes all believers. How does this understanding prompt us to examine our relationships with others in the Church?
