Plagues & Passover Unit - Week 4

Review the 10 Plagues with your child and have a little fun at the same time!  After you complete an activity, just be sure to talk about how God was faithful, even through the Plagues.  Use the following ideas and/or make up some of your own!
If you need to review the Scriptures, check out Exodus 7:14-24, 8-12:1-30

Game Ideas

Leap Frog

Directions: Children must hop over each other's backs while going down a line. Once a child reaches the end of the line, he bends over in front, and the last person gets to go next. Play as long as desired or time allows.

Statues

Directions: One parent assumes the role of leader in this game. The children must move around acting like cattle (make moo sounds, etc.). When the parent says "freeze," all of the children must lie down and be as still as possible. When the leader sees a child moving, she will tap them on the shoulder and they have to get up. They are out of the game. The last person lying still is the winner.

Blind Guy

Directions: Find a dark piece of material (bandana, old t-shirt, scrap of material, etc.) to wrap around your child's eyes so they can experience walking around without being able to see.  Then, if your think your child can handle it, turn off all lights inside the house.  The blindfold and the lack of light should help your child understand what it was like to wander in complete darkness like the Israelites.

Bug Snacks

A good snack for this lesson would be bug snacks. Use oval crackers for the body, pretzels and peanut butter for the legs, and raisins for the eyes. Yummy!

Fish in the Water Snack

Ingredients:

• 2 boxes cherry Jello
• 1 can fruit cocktail, drained well
• Gummy fish
• Small glass fish bowl

Directions:

1. Make the Jello according the package.
2. Put drained fruit cocktail in the bottom of the fish bowl and pour the Jello over top. Place in the refrigerator to set.
3. When thickened, remove the fish bowl and add gummy fish. Place them in the "water" above the fruit cocktail.
4. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
