Ten Plagues Adventure
A fun activity to represent the
ten plagues can be reenacted. Ten days before
Passover begins, do something in your home to
represent each one of the ten plagues. Here are
a few examples. Be creative and make up your own
symbols.
1. Nile waters turning to blood --put red food
coloring in the water glasses at the dinner table,
in the bathroom sinks, in the dog's water bowl,
and anywhere else you can think of.
2. The frogs--Use green construction paper to
cut out roundish frogs with thin green legs. Bend
the legs to make the frogs look as if they are
jumping. Put them everywhere, in cereal boxes,
in the shower, refrigerator, drawers, etc.
3. The lice--Use a hole punch to make many small
white "dots" out of plain white paper.
Scotch tape them on your body and leave them on
for a few hours. The appearance and irritation
will make you think of itching lice.
4. The flies-- Use clear scotch tape to tape
pepper or small "dots" of black construction
paper in different areas of the house, the windows,
the bathroom mirrors, etc.
5. Disease afflicting the Egyptian livestock--put
stuffed animals in different areas of the house,
upside down.
6. Boils--Use a hole punch to make many small
red ÿdotsÿ out of red construction paper
(or cut out circles). Cover each other with boils
by scotch taping them on your body and leave them
on for a few hours. The appearance and irritation
will make you think of the boils.
7. Hailstorm--Put ice cubes around the outside
of your house, the porch areas and on the outside
window sills.
8. Locusts-- Use brown construction paper to
cut out oval-looking locusts. Put them everywhere
as you did the frogs (you'll even think of some
new places to surprise your family).
9. Darkness--Tape brown paper bags over all the
windows, draw all draperies to keep it dark in
the daytime, or don't turn on any lights in the
evening.
10. Put red ribbon on the sides and top of door
post of your house to avoid the death plague.
When the neighbors ask what the ribbon is for
you can witness to them!
