Deuteronomy 5:15a, ESV – You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand...

  • Remember – tap your brain
  • Slave – cross your wrists over each other to represent chains
  • Egypt – form a pyramid over your head with your hands
  • Lord your God – point up three times rhythmically with these three words
  • Brought you out – reach down to the floor and pretend to pull someone up off the group
  • Mighty hand – hold out your hand to the side, then form it into a fist
