Keri also sang her song for us.

Esther Song

Thanks to a Keri for sending this in!

To the tune "Go Tell it on the Mountain".  Actions in blue!

I wrote this when our lesson was about Esther. It could also be used for Purim. It's fairly simple and gets the key ideas of the story across.

Esther was made queen
(put hands on head to form a crown)
When King Xerxes ruled the land
(bend arm and extend, like scepter)
But her people were in trouble

(put hands on cheeks, raise eyebrows, like "oh no")
Because of Haman's plan
(rub hands together, wrinkle eyebrows, to be "evil")

Go, tell it to the king

(walk fingers on arm; on "king", bend arm and extend, like scepter)
Esther showed she was very brave

(form crown for "Esther"; show muscles on "brave")
Go, tell it to the king
(walk fingers on arm; on "king", bend arm and extend, like scepter)
That's how the Jews were saved.

(big smile while clapping hands)
