I also taught "Ten Plagues in Egypt Land" this past Sunday to grades K-3.
and the kids LOVED it!  I must admit to getting a little winded from playing
the guitar, singing, and marching forward and backwards with the kids, but
it was SO MUCH FUN!  We added some arm and body movements to the words "9,
10 plagues in Egypt land," and since I was singing the verses alone, I would
sing the first half of the line and then stop the guitar entirely and let
the kids shout out "ten plagues in Egypt land!"  It worked great, and I
fully intend to use it at my own family seder!  Thanks, Ellen and Peter, for
sharing this song at HN last year!  It's a gem!

Hi all---
       I used Ellen  and Peter Allards' 10 Plagues yesterday using
songsheets with the older kids (through 5th grade) and had them sit on the
floor reading the words while they patted their laps instead of walking.
This way they could sing all the verses with me.They also clapped at the
appropriate time. Worked great and they loved the song. I used it standing
up with the younger kids because they can't read and they loved it too. I
knew when I heard it at HN last year that it would be a hit and it was! The
older kids loved it as much as the younger ones. Thanks Ellen and Peter for
a great song!!
