[HANASHIR:10840] Re: Plagues song

[Barton1320 <Barton1320...>]

Rachelle, I'm so glad you sent your message about this song.  I thought it was 
cute when I saw the first verse, but after reading the reading the rest of the 
song, I knew I wouldn't be teaching it.  I'm pretty confident that my 5 year 
old daughter might laugh at the song when she first heard it, but would then 
conjure up some nightmarish visions after she thought about it.  I think that 
when we teach the story of Passover to the very young, we need to be sensitive 
to the incredible imaginations they have.  Personally, I think that at pre-K, 
Kindergarten and 1st grade, the plaques could be presented in a less gregarious 
manner.  

Best to all,

Linda Barton
