Opening Song: Keep the Commandments #146
Opening Prayer: Child
Scripture: Exodus 20:3-17
Lesson:
The Ten Commandments were given to Moses for the people of Israel to live by.
The commandments are still important for us to live by today.
Jesus said people should live the commandments through the prophet Moses.
The Prophet today - President Monson wants us to do the same today.
The Ten Commandments tell us that we should:
Worship God only
No taking Lord's name in vain
Keep the Sabbath day holy (maybe list how to do this)
Honor thy mother and father
Shalt not kill
Shalt not steal
Shalt not lie
Shalt not commit adultery
Shalt not covet
We need to try hard to keep God's commandments. They are important to live to be a good person.
Activity suggestions:
Make a "mountain" to act out the story of Moses receiving the commandments
Make a poster in tablet shape and get kids to write on the commandments
Play Simon Says
Mark out roads with masking tape and make little road signs. Have children "follow the laws/rules"
{Explain how these object lessons are similar to following God's laws}
Closing Song: Choose the Right Way #160
Closing Prayer: Child
Treat Ideas:
Flat bread and/or food from Biblical times
Make Commandment tablets by using frosting/edible pens (black colour) to write on biscuits
