Chametz vs. Matza

What is chametz? What is matza? One has to understand one to appreciate the other. 
In this installment, we will explore both.

Here is a video of me discussing chametz and matza as well as reading the book, The Mouse in the Matza Factory.

Here is a video exploring a real matza factory in Israel.

Distinguishing between chametz and food which can be eaten on Pesach is an important skill, beginning when we are young and continuing forever (Sorting is an important component of daily executive function. Knowing which foods are acceptable for Peach is a yearly issue.) 

One sorting game I like to play involves placing all the toy food on the floor. On one side of the room is a Pesach Food Sign. On the other side is a Chametz sign. Children get brooms and must sweep each food item to the correct sign.

Loads of fun, gross motor coordination, Pesach learning. Now they are ready to help sweep your house and prepare the food for Pesach!
