The Plague of Frogs

Today, after composing text messages from Moses to Zipporah, we acted out the first few scenes in a skit about Moses that I found at www.rotation.org's Ideas & Lesson Exchange. (Here's my differently formatted, abridged and slightly edited version.)

With each scene we switched the actors. Before doing the scene about the plague of frogs, we stopped to make lots of jumping frogs for the scene from 4 x 6 index cards (actually, brightly colored cardstock that I had sliced into 4 x 6 pieces). Once they got the hang of this, the children could have gone on much longer with the frog-making. (We probably spent about 25 minutes making frogs.) We did, however, manage to get in the plague of frogs scene just before we ran out of time.
