Ten Commandments Children's Bible Lesson

 

Do you need a fun way to teach children the story of God giving Moses the Ten Commandments, what they are, and what their purpose was and is? With hands-on activities, printables, active games, and fun crafts? And multiple ways of processing the Ten Commandments for different types of learners and ages.

The activities use shortened versions of the Ten Commandments and symbols to help kids remember them. The same symbols and wording for the shortened commandments are used across all of the activities. The wording I used for the commandments is listed below:

1. No other God
2. No idols 
3. Don’t swear 
4. Rest on Sabbath 
5. Obey parents 
6. Don’t murder 
7. Honor marriage 
8. Don’t steal 
9. Don’t lie 
10. Don’t be jealous

This lesson includes links to songs on YouTube and links to printables to be used in the craft.

There are also finger puppets for each commandment that work great if you have them memorize the commandments.  They also work great for the kids to use with songs.

Hopscotch is also a great activity to help kids learn the Ten Commandments while using some of their boundless energy.

Other printable activities include a cut-and-paste matching sheet, spin & dot sheet and spinner (for use with bingo daubers or markers), matching card game (played like Memory, Go Fish, Old Maid, or Slap), study cards, and bingo.
