For next week --

Where is baby Moshe, Moshe, Moshe?
Where is baby Moshe? He's in the River Nile.

He is in a basket, basket, basket
He is in a basket in the river Nile
The princess, she is swimming, swimming, swimming
The princess, she is swimming in the River Nile.

She finds the baby Moshe, Moshe, Moshe
She finds the baby Moshe in the River Nile.

More to follow.

tto dayenu

Dam is blood, tzefardeia is a frog, kinnim, lice, arov, wild animals,
Dever, all the animals died (some say "got sick" instead)
Shchin are boils and blisters.
Barad, hail and fire coming down
Arbeh, locusts jumping all around
Choshech, darkness, the mitzrim couldn't see
Makas bechoros, the firstborn died

Also:

One day when Paroh awoke in his bed, there were frogs in his bed, there were frogs on his head
Frogs on his nose and frogs on his toes
Frogs here, frogs there, frogs were jumping everywhere.

I like to act this out, where (after some preparing, so the kids know the rules) I pretend to be Paroh, and lie down, and the kids are the frogs. No touching allowed!

And of course, there's "Oh listen, King Paroh."

Oh Listen:

Oh, listen, oh, listen, oh listen, King Paroh
Oh listen, oh listen, please let my people go.
They work so hard all day
They do not want to stay
King Paroh, King Paroh, what do you say?

"No, no, no; I will not let them go! (2x)

For Bo, I'm doing a reprise of the "One day when Paroh" song with locusts/grasshoppers instead of frogs. Then, for choshech, we're playing a game where you close your eyes, move for a short time to some music, then freeze when the music stops. At the end, we talk about how it feels to move with our eyes closed. Finally, we talk about how the last makka happened at night. "What do people wear when it is nighttime?" "Pajamas!" "OK, let's pretend to be sleeping... when you hear the music slow, then stand up. For the last part, hands on face or head, and loud voices.

Paroh in pajamas in the middle of the night (3x)
Oy, oy, oy, oy, oy, oy!

Then, for matza -- I use a Pesach song:

Hurry, hurry, don't delay
Pour and mix it right away
Bake it before it can rise;
Shmura matza, what a prize.

How did matza get this way?
Long ago, we ran away
Left Mitzrayim far behind
Before Paroh changed his mind.

(I'll have to remember the last verse -- can anyone help me out?)

I'm also doing snow songs this week.

Finger play, puppet play, or let kids "melt":

Five little snowmen, all in a row
Each with a hat and a big, red bow.
Out came the sun, and it stayed all day;
And one little snowman melted away. (repeat with other #'s)

Circle game -- (sing, while walking around a circle:)

Frosty weather, stormy weather
When the wind blows...

(go fast into middle until all standing squished)
We all blow together!

(Note -- I teach them how to walk around in a circle before I start, and I tell them that we are making a contest to see if we can all stay standing up when we are finished).

Snowman song (with motions)

Chubby little snowman with a carrot nose;
Along came a bunny, and what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny, looking for some lunch
Ate the carrot nose with a nibble, nibble crunch!

Outerwear song: (tto "head and shoulders, knees and toes")
(Motions -- mimic putting pants on, stamp feet, hug self, pat head, touch neck, hold out or clap hands)
Snowpants, boots, coat and hat, scarf and gloves (2x)
That's what I put on when it's cold outside
Snowpants, boots, coat and hat, scarf and gloves!

I couldn't find any for this week, so I made one up!

TTTO: Old Mac Donald

Bnei Yisrael ran away
'cuz Paroah said to go!
Then they came to a great big sea
and couldn't pass - oh no!

(Here a moo, there a moo...)
The mitzrim were behind
and the sea was in front
they were scared but trusted in Hashem!

So Moshe lifted up his stick
and then the sea split!
They passed through and didn't get wet
what a great big neis!

(Here a moo)
The mitzrim tried to pass
but the sea closed up real fast,
up and down they swam all around!

Bnei Yisrael were all safe - Thank you Hashem!

No, but here's one that we're doing about the yam suf:

tto "pop goes the weasel"

The yidden crossed the yam suf
With dry sand on the bottom
The mitzrim chased them from behind
Splash went the mayim!

We do it with gestures, then we play it like "London Bridge" where the kids go under the arch of 2 morahs being the water, and when we say "splash", the bring the arms down around whoever is inside.
