The Ten Plagues

Use this word search after you teach The Ten Plagues (Exodus 7–11).

The story: God sent Moses and Aaron to tell Pharaoh, "Let my people go, that they may serve me," but Pharaoh's heart was hardened, so the LORD sent plagues on Egypt: the waters turned to blood, then frogs, lice, swarms of flies, a murrain (sickness) on the cattle, boils, hail, locusts and thick darkness. Then came "one plague more": at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt. God did all this so that Pharaoh would know "that there is none like me in all the earth."
