The Song of Plagues...

In a recent post, I mentioned that the children and I
were learning a song about the 10 plagues we were studying
and was asked if I would share the lyrics.
Gladly! Here they are below...


The Plague Song
(to the tune of "This Old Man")

First God sent, Plague number one,
Turned the Nile into blood.
All the people in Egypt were feeling pretty low
They told Pharaoh "Let them Go!"

Then God sent, Plague number two,
Jumping frogs all over you.
All the people in Egypt were feeling pretty low
They told Pharaoh "Let them Go!"


Then God sent, Plague number three,
Swarms of lice from head to knee.
All the people in Egypt were feeling pretty low
They told Pharaoh "Let them Go!"

Then God sent, Plague number four,
Filthy flies need we say more?
All the people in Egypt were feeling pretty low
They told Pharaoh "Let them Go!"

Then God sent, Plague number five,
All the livestock up and died.
All the people in Egypt were feeling pretty low
They told Pharaoh "Let them Go!"

Then God sent,Plague number six,
Boils and sores to make you sick
All the people in Egypt were feeling pretty low.
They told Pharaoh "Let them Go!"

Then God sent, Plague number seven,
Hail and fire down from heaven.
All the people in Egypt were feeling pretty low
They told Pharaoh "Let them Go!"

Then God sent, Plague number eight,
Locust came and they sure ate.
All the people in Egypt were feeling pretty low
They told Pharaoh "Let them Go!"

Then God sent, Plague number nine,
Total darkness all the time.
All the people in Egypt were feeling pretty low
They told Pharaoh "Let them Go!"

Then God sent, Plague number ten,
Pharaoh's son died so he gave in.
All the people in Egypt were feeling pretty low
Finally Pharaoh let them go.

{song found here but altered slightly by me}


I have been singing it to the children
as they have been coloring in their 10 plagues mini-book
and have enjoyed singing it themselves
as they flip through the books.
It's been a fun little jingle to sing
as we've been studying these ten plagues!
