Splitting of the sea cake
Make a Pesach cake and blue icing. Split the cake in half and ice both sides, for people, place chocolate chips (all in the standing up position) between the two walls of the cake in a funnel shape. If you can find gummy fish, put them onto the cake.

more ideas
Barad-red candy in marshmellow
Dam - punch or tomato juice
Chosech-hide good stuff for the kids to find - just like the jews searched for treasure in the darkness

Have the kids do charades/act out the makos for you to guess.

Great Ideas! Here's another one from my childhood...
This idea isn't deeply meaningful, or even connected to the meaning of Passover, it just made everyone b'simcha.

Every year, before Passover, my uncle would go on a shopping spree at a local party/magic store. He would buy all the corny gags -- the fly in the ice cube, the whoopee cushion, the "plate jumper" etc...and all through the seder he'd be playing gags. One year he came to the seder with the "arrow through the head" headband. I was 5 and didn't understand it was an illusion -- I almost fainted.

I won't tell you what happened the time he bought the fake vomit...:)

Anyway, like I said, this stuff isn't deeply meaningful, but sure was memorable. I think there's a special place in shamyim for this uncle because he made us look forward to Passover every year.

Get creative! Think outside the box! I know of one family that made a 'tent' inside their home with different colored scarves and sat on the floor, pretending they were in the desert for Pesach.

This was a great video and I can't wait to see what other share in the comments.
