The Ten Commandments



Last week we did a fabulous job learning about the Ten Commandments! The kids had 4 choices:

Play It: I drew a footprint and a number between 1 and 10 on ten different colors of paper. On the back side, I wrote the commandment that corresponds with that number. The papers were set up in a circle and we walked around the papers to music. When the music stopped, each kid was standing on a piece of paper. If they could correctly name the commandment, they got to keep that piece of paper. If they didn't know it, the paper stayed in play. We played until we ran out of commandments and the kid with the most commandments won!


Make It: We used this super creative craft from Calvary Kids. The kids were amazed at the chance to make their own iPhones! On each number, they drew a picture to represent that commandment.

Act It: We practiced our 10 Commandments using these fun hand signals. I put them all together in a printable to help the kids remember them and practice at home.

Build It: For this activity, we pulled out one of the kids' favorite toys: cars and racetrack! We placed traffic signs all along the track to be "rules" that the cars had to follow - just like we have to follow the 10 Commandments.
