Mi mitzrayim, hotzi anu

Dayenu, dayenu, dayenu
Da-dayenu, da-dayenu, da-dayenu
Dayenu, dayenu

Activities –

• Build a Bridge –

Use blocks or whatever you have in your house to build a bridge.  Want a challenge?  Make the bridge go over something without touching it.  Does it go over a lake?  Does it go over a garage for your cars?  How wide is it?  Can cars or animals go over the bridge?  Does a troll live under it?
 

• Sing If You’re Happy and You Know It – 

What makes you happy?  How do you show when you are happy?  Make a drawing of you and something that makes you happy.  Ask a grownup to write the words that describe your picture or write them how you write.  Want to do more?  Ask someone in your family what makes them happy and draw it for them.

• Crossing the Sea –

Pretend that you are one of the Israelites with Moses and are crossing the sea.  (Put some pillows or blankets down to form your walk way.)  How would you move?  Would you go slowly or quickly?  What if you were an animal?  How would an alligator cross the sea?  How about a frog?  What other animals could you be as you cross the sea?
