This year, I've been really inspired by some of the older kids I've been working with, I spend more time with elementary age students this year than I ever have before. I facilitated this project in which the kids and I studied the story, then created a song to share it in a way they thought would be meaningful to other kids, and then made this video for you. Enjoy.

Vashti wont dance, dance, dance, dance, dance 
Without wearing her fancy pants, pants, pants Now she's gone and Esther had a chance, chance, chance, chance, chance 
To try and win King A's romance, mance, mance, mance mance,

Ye, ye Megillah on and on and on.......
And it goes on and on and on......
Yeah! I throw my gragger in the air sometimes, Saying Boo! Boo Haman!
I wanna celebrate and live my life,
Saying AYO! Jewish pride will show!

'Cause we gon' rock this J, 
Esther put up a fight,
Talked to the king 
Stood up for Jewish rights 
She told him once, 
No need to tell him twice 
We gon' live it up, Its Purim tonight!

King A thought I looked cool ..... 
So then I got to rule rule rule...... 
Mordy told me Haman was cruel.... 
Wanted to kill Jews- what a fool..... 
Ye, ye Megillah on and on and on.......
And it goes on and on and on......
Yeah! I throw my gragger in the air sometimes, Saying Boo! Boo Haman!
I wanna celebrate and live my life,
Saying AYO! Jewish pride will show!
'Cause we gon' rock this J, 
Esther put up a fight,
Talked to the king 
Stood up for Jewish rights 
She told him once, 
No need to tell him twice 
We gon' live it up, Its Purim tonight!
I'm gonna celebrate 
I'm eating hamentaschen all day 
I'm gonna celebrate
And I stand up freedom today 
Cause I, I, I.. believe it,
And I, I, I .. I just want it all.....
I just want it all..... 
I'm gonna put my gragger in the air!
gragger, gragger in the air! 
Put your gragger in the air!
Ye, ye Megillah on and on and on.......
And it goes on and on and on......
Yeah! I throw my gragger in the air sometimes, Saying Boo! Boo Haman!
I wanna celebrate and live my life,
Saying AYO! Jewish pride will show!
