Thanks!

It's the "Kosher Song" from Uncle Moishy, Vol. 3.

Uptown, downtown, all around the town,
It's kosher all day long!
And we will never, never, never eat milk and meat together,
so join us, and sing the kosher song,
Lalalalalalala!!

Purim Songs from Mitzvah Tree

When the Yom Tov Purim Comes
Oh how happy I will be
I'll dress up in some funny clothes
And you won't know I'm me
I'll be busy all the day
Guess what I will do
I'll bring Shalach Manos
to you and you and you too!

King Achashveirosh made a great feast
he told his wife vashti to come
she had many pimples 100 at least
and said I can't join in your fun
the king was so angry he said to his guards
take her! I don't wan't her! she's mean!
and from all the maidens that shushan town had
Esther became his new queen!
Haman told everyone bow down to me
but mordechai said "that I'll never do
I bow only to Hashem, Hashem Elokim
and I'm proud, so proud to be a Jew".

Here's one but I don't remember all the words, maybe others will chime in:

Once there was a wicked wicked man and Haman was his name SIR
He wanted to kill all the Jews but they were not to blame SIR
Oh today we'll merry merry be 3X
and nosh on Hamentashen!

Nice. But too long. Maybe when I'll have time I'll cusomize it. I'd love to have some 4 line catchy songs.

Thanks for the kibud av vaeim song!

I also have been teaching "uptown, downtown", and also a rhythm game.

Children and morah cross legs and potch to the beat:

Original rhyme -- Jelly in the bowl, jelly in the bowl
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble, jelly in the bowl.

I changed it to use with pics of first milchig items, then later, fleishig ones:

Hold up a pic of ice cream:

Ice cream in the bowl, ice cream in the bowl
Yummy, yummy -- MILCHIG! Etc.

For Purim:

Mishenichnas Adar is always a favorite. I know a bunch of tunes.

To the tune of "B-I-N-G-O"

I know a happy holiday and Purim is its name, oh
(You can choose here -- P-U-R-I-M, or Pay, Vav, Reish, Yud Mem) (3x)
And Purim is its name, oh.

Have each letter on a separate piece of paper. Choose a child to turn over one piece of paper, and repeat again, clapping and saying "mm" in the place of the turned over letters.

Here are some more -- tell me which ones you want words for.

Chag Purim
I'm the Jester of Queen Esther
Lakova sheli shalosh pinot (or different tune for English, my hat it has 3 corners)
Sing with me, play with me (tto tumbala laike, guessing game for names of characters in story)
When you hear the name of Haman stamp your feet (tto happy and you know it)
Ani Purim
Leitzan Katan
A Tisket, a tasket, a shalach manos basket, 2 gifts of food we will bring to family and friends.
I wrote one with the 4 mitzvos -- I'll have to pull it out again and post.

I'm probably skipping parsha. I'll focus on purim.

↑ imasinger ↓

Tue, Feb 21 2012, 11:00 pm

It's Purim themes, then Pesach themes, then ahavas yisrael and sefira themes, then Shavuos; not much more parsha here, either.

I need more songs. What do you have in your song booklet?
I'm also planning to make a gragger and megila. Also all purim characters on a popstick for puppets. And I wanna send them home the day b4 purim dressed up as something. Maybe a clown with a collar, funny nose, and hat. But I'll see if that'll still happen. I'll put into gragger either little rocks or beans.

I don't know any English songs. I would appreciate if you can post the words and to which tune it goes. TIA.

I made up this song today.
TTTO Yankee Doodle.
Haman led the kings horse all around town,
Mordechai was sitting on top wearing the kings crown.
Kacha yaiaseh Haman yelled in a loud wail,
Then his daughter poured on him a smelly garbage pail!

Thanks Boysrus. Can someone post the English traditional 'nissuch' of the simanei haseder and ma nishtana? TIA

I have no idea what is "the traditional" translation to which you refer, but here's what I do:

Why is this night different from all other nights? from all other nights?

On all other nights, we eat chametz or matza (some people do "bread, rolls, crackers, pretzels, or matza")
But in this night, this special seder night, we only eat matza (2x)

On all other nights, we eat all kinds of vegetables
But on this night... we eat maror

On all other nights, we don't dip even once
But on this night... we dip twice

On all other nights, we eat sitting up or leaning to the left
But on this night... we lean to the left.

(n.b. when I teach in Chabad, we change the order. Not sure who else does it with dipping first.)

I'll give you a couple of songs about the seder plate and simanim later; here's one about the order. It's done to a kind of sing-song-y tune. I have another nice one that is a little wordier that I can find for you if you like.

Kadesh, make kiddush on the yayin
Urchatz, without a bracha, wash your yadayim
Karpas, dip vegetable in salt water
Yachatz, break the middle matza.

Maggid, Mah Nishtana and tell the haggada
Rochtza, wash your hands, this time with a bracha
Motzi matza, we eat the matza
Maror, we eat the bitter maror

Korech, we make a matza/maror sandwich
Shulchan orech, we eat the big seuda
Tzafun, we look for the afikoman
Barech, we bentch and thank H".

Hallel, sing praises to H"
Nirtza, our seder comes to an end
L'shana haba'ah b'yirushalayim
Next year in Yerushalayim.
