V'Nomar L'Fanav

Introduction:

V'Nomar l'fanav is part of the Haggadah. It is appropriate to sing a "new" song for the "new" spring season. Brainstorm with the children what new things happen in the spring.

Lyrics:

V'nomar l'fanav shira chadasha (2x)  And let us sing before Him a new song.
Halleluyah, halleluyah. (4x)Praise to G-d


Hand Motions:

Since each of the first two lines has 8 beats, the song lends itself to hand movements. Try alternating motions after every two beats. Each time you say a new word, begin a new motion. (Have students select the motions.) For example,

"V’nomar" - slap kness for 2 beats
"l’fanav" - clap hands for 2 beats
"shira" - twirl arms for 2 beats
"chadasha" - clap hands above head for 2 beats.
