PLAY THE Ten Plagues Game
Moses commands the Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of Egypt. The Pharaoh refuses and as a response god sends down one horrible plague at a time.
Our Ten Plagues game is designed to help you memorize and prepare for the Seder, or stay engaged during the Seder ceremony. Here’s how to play the game:
instructions
Mix cards and place face down in a pile
Three players place headbands on their heads and insert one of the plague cards without looking at the picture.
On their turn, each player asks each Seder guest a question about what plague you are (e.g. Am I an animal? Am I itchy?). They keep going around the table until they guess or give up.
Once the three players finish their turn, their cards are added back to the pile and the pile is reshuffled.
