Review last weeks lesson
Bible Story:  Exodus out of Egypt-10 plagues-Jesus is our Passover Lamb-Saved us  by His death on the cross and rose again

Lesson: 10 Plagues Play-I use this play every year and the kids love it! http://www.kirkofkildaire.org/quest/FQlessons/PlaguesPlayhouse.htm
God Protects--God protected the Israelites from the plagues by the blood of the lamb-He protected us from death by dying on the cross for us!  Have a volunteer sit in a chair "unproctected" and attack with silly string!  Then have a volunteer come up and cover them with a red blanket(the blood of Jesus) and then attack with silly string, they will be protected. Need: red blanket, silly string)
The Plague Song-- This is fun to sing to the kids!  http://www.kidssundayschool.com/Gradeschool/Songs/1song01.php


Memory Verse: "For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrified for us." 1 Cor. 5:7


Craft:  Seder Plate--See previous post on this craft.  I teach younger kids so I simplifed it and they turned out great.
 Need: disposable cake platters from a party store or craft store
            cupcake liners
            various Passover pics and symbols for them to cut and paste onto their plate
            the 6 pics for the plate, bitter herbs(usually horseradish-bitterness of slavery), egg(New life in Jesus), shankbone(the Passover lamb, Jesus), haroset(sweetness of freedom and Jesus' salvation), parsley(dipped in salt water to remember the tears shed as a result of our slavery) and lettuce(used to eat charoset)

Have the kids glue 6 cupcake liners around the cake platter.  Then print of the 6 sedar plate foods from link, color and cut out. Paste them inside the cupcake liners.  Then have them cut out and paste various Passover pics and symbols onto their plate.
