OU TORAH
The Four Questions
************************
Thank you for your question. I have to be brief, being Erev Pesach, but I didn't want to leave it until after.
I can think of two reasons. One is inherent in the answers that we give - "this is because of what Hashem did for me when I left Egypt." Many mitzvos are "zeicher litziyas Mitzrayim" - in remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt. These range from the first of the Aseres HaDibros (I am Hashem Who took you out of Egypt) to Shabbos to kriyat Shema.
A more down-to-Earth reason, however, is that Pesach has a long ceremony that kids are expected to sit through. Drawing their attention to all the things that are unusual about Pesach is a way of engaging them and keeping their interest.
With my best wishes for a chag kasher v'sameach,
