The Plagues of Egypt

Moses and Aaron meet with the pharaoh (image from freebibleimages.org).

Central Truth: God will fight for his people and fulfill his promises.

Scriptures: Exodus 7:14-25; 8-10

To prove to the pharaoh and the Egyptians that the God of Israel was greater than the gods of Egypt, Moses and Aaron demonstrated God's power with ten plagues upon the people and the land of Egypt. With each plague, God showed his power and defeated the Egyptian gods.

To help the story to come alive for the children, I put together an interactive display for the story of Moses. Each week, something new is either revealed or added or taken away. Today, we revealed the nine of the plagues of Egypt.

We also marked on the map where the plagues occurred in Egypt (marked with #3 and #4 on the map below).

During freetime, the children enjoyed some wonderful handouts and visuals about the plagues of Egypt that can be found at http://www.biblepathwayadventures.com/ and http://homeschooling.about.com/od/holidays/ss/passoverprint.htm.
