Out of Egypt

A movement-driven Exodus song that invites kiddos to experience the story of leaving Egypt through their bodies. It is a zipper song: the central movement changes with each verse while the structure stays the same.

Kiddos can march, hop, spin, dance, or tiptoe out of Egypt. The chorus carries "God took us out and now we're free" alongside the celebration cue "hooray." The bridge alternates fast and slow movement, giving kiddos a chance to practice impulse regulation before the next verse starts.

What's included:

Lead sheet PDF with melody line, chord symbols, and lyrics. Chords C, F, G. Tempo quarter note equals 108. Original composition by Dr. Emily Aronoff. Suitable for guitar, ukulele, or piano accompaniment.

Best fit:

Songleaders, music specialists, cantorial soloists, and music-reading grown ups working with kiddos roughly ages 2-10. Lands at Passover seders, preschool and religious school Passover programming, family engagement sessions, and any session across the seven weeks of the Omer. Works as an opening, a transition, or a body-and-brain break during the seder. If you have a portable speaker, the song travels well for an actual parade through the building.
