10 Plagues Activity - You get to be the Plague!

In this activity, 10 volunteers have an opportunity to be the baddest, scariest plagues out there. The whole Seder table raps the Chorus, and then the Seder leader shouts “One!” (and so on) and each Plague volunteer shouts out his or her plague during their turn.

Seder leader (and table) sings this Chorus (together):

Moses at the Red Sea, like “who’s gonna follow me?”
Pharaoh’s in the tide, we gonna ride, to our destiny,
In back of me, so sad to see, them bodies in the Red Sea
Chariots get buried, b-b-buried in the Red Sea
Pharaoh sat and laughed when a staff became a snake,
Too long we’ve been your slaves, just let us go and pray,
Said “don’t make this mistake,”
No pardon his heart was hardened,
So started what we regard as: the days of 10 plagues...

PLAGUE ONE:
(Leader says: One!)
Blood in the river gonna shiver, gonna freak out, lips take a sip - now there’s blood in your mouth!

PLAGUE TWO:
(Leader says: Two!)
Frogs on your beds in your house on your plate, don’t matter what’s for dinner - better like frog legs!

PLAGUE THREE:
(Leader says: Three!)
Gnats buzz buzz watch the dust turn to bugs,
itch itch hard to think - with all the lice in your mugs!

PLAGUE FOUR:
(Leader says: Four!)
Beasts roam your streets when you step outside, there’s a tiger on your tail - nowhere to hide!

PLAGUE FIVE:
(Leader says: Five!)
Death of your livestock, their flesh dries up,
b-b-bodies in your barn - Pharaoh when you gonna wise up?

CHORUS

PLAGUE SIX:
(Leader says: Six!)
Boils on your flesh no less than torture, careful ‘bout the ash in the air - it’ll scorch ya!

PLAGUE SEVEN:
(Leader says: Seven!)
Hail rains down - beats your brains down,
like a message from the heavens - better lay our chains down!

PLAGUE EIGHT:
(Leader says: Eight!)
Locusts from the coast you can hear their wings click, eating crops, eating trees - til’ they’re used as toothpicks!

PLAGUE NINE:
(Leader says: Nine!)
Darkness - dispatch - 3 days pitch black,
remember when this started - and you thought it was just witchcraft!

PLAGUE TEN:
(Leader says: Death!)
Death of the first born how did it come to this?
Ten is what it took - so we all would remember it!
