Capture the attention of those at your Seder table, especially the kids, with these great props to recreate the plagues.
1) Blood
Fill a jug or glass with red food colouring and when reading out the plagues add some water and hey presto! you've got blood free blood. Unlike the plague, this water is drinkable, see who will take a gulp!
2) Frogs
Jumping frogs are available from your local, or online toy shop and would be great for everyone to have a go to see who can get theirs further as we reach plague number 2.
For those with a bit more energy, have a hop and a croack around the dining room!
3) Lice
Try and find some plastic bugs from your nearest toy merchant or throw some confetti! But don't forget, what goes down, must be hoovered up!
4) Wild Animals
Buy or make some masks to put on when reaching plague number 4. Print a lion mask here http://bit.ly/1NBzF17
5) Pestilence
Set up some plastic cows, sheep and horses and topple them over.
6) Boils
The boils brought the great itch across Egypt, so have a good scratch!
7) Hail
You see table tennis balls, we see hail!!! Alternatives could be marshmallows or cotton balls.
8) Locusts
You could either use some plastic props or hop around mimicing these pesky insects.
9) Darkness
Use sleeping masks or blindfolds to recreate this plague. Have a wander around, but try not to knock over the wine!
10) Firstborns & Crossing the Sea
The tenth plague was the killing of the first born and this may be a bit too macabre to recreate.
After the Israelites left Egypt they crossed the Red Sea, so walk through the curtains, or hold up some sheets to recreate this momentous occassion.
Have any other ideas? Let us know!
