How to keep yourself entertained and occupied during the Passover festival

Passover is an important festival for those of the Jewish faith. Most would be hesitant to say that they don't enjoy or respect the holiday, but there's no denying that it can get a little boring sometimes. Here are activities you can enjoy without breaking any traditional rules.

• Maybe one of the greatest ways to avoid the potential boredom that can come from not having one's usual pet pleasures is to engage in Passover-related activities with the family.
• One quick and easy game is to take a bunch of index cards, write questions from the Haggadah on them, and place them all in a hat.
• Allow children to pull a question out to see if they answer it correctly. These questions can include anything from "What was the fourth plague?" to "What do the Seder cups of wine signify?"

• The ceremonial dinner is an important part of Passover, but it doesn't have to be the only time cooking fights off boredom.
• The week of the festival can be a good time to have fun experimenting with other kosher dishes, with the added benefit that they can then be enjoyed throughout the year.

• One could always wait until Chol Hamoed to pick up their e-reader and catch up on a book they've lost track of, but why bother?
• Reading books during Passover isn't forbidden, and though reading may not seem super exciting in the age of smartphones, touch screen computers, and Internet television, it still can be.
• Many people forget how much they actually enjoy reading a physical book, so use the festival week as a time to reconnect with the literary experience.

• Passover rules say that a person can't work during certain days of the week, but it says nothing about taking a trip. Taking a vacation is a simple way to avoid any boredom during the Passover festival.
• Just make sure that you keep that GPS turned off and get an old fashioned paper road map to find your way around.

Passover is a special time for all those of the Jewish faith, but there are several restrictions during certain times in the festival. Luckily, these restrictions don't have to be a sentence for boredom.
