A song is always a great way to start an activity and also to get the kids going and pump them up!

For this activity, I was thinking that

the chain of hands represents love (Gods

love) since they are circling the globe.

God wants us to take care of his planet

and maintain order.

God has given humans a

manual for life on planet

earth. By showing this video

kids can understand that

in order to partner with God

to maintain order, they must

follow the 10 Commandments.

I thought a song would be a

great idea.

Torah:

When Jesus says, "You have heard it was said...But now I say to you" (pg 37)

We can have a table with two columns printed on a sheet of paper with the first column saying "Torah says" and the other column saying "Jesus says." Then we have cut outs of the different laws that is in the Torah and what Jesus says and the kids have to put them in the right columns.

Split the kids into two teams and see how

many of the different virtues each team can

name in 10 seconds and then naming the

opposite of those virtues and see which team

gets the most points.

Virtues: love, honesty, loyalty, compassion,

justice, righteousness, faith, hope, charity.

Opposite: Sin, trespass, lack of attention to

details, self-absorbed, distracted.

pg 44 (I think it's something important we need to emphasize just because it's saying that we matter and what we do matters.)

"My main task here is to help you see the big ethical story of the Bible namely, that humans have been created to be partners with God in managing chaos and preserving the created order. What we do, or don't do, what we omit or commit: it matters. When we uphold virtue, we make the world more secure, when we trespass, we risk awakening chaos and unleashing destruction.

For a good craft to go along with the lesson, I was thinking the popsicle stick tablets.

let the kids make something like these to represent Gods love, and explain to them why he gave us these instructions.

A good reference for explaining the tabernacle, and also a story along with that.

Kids love Veggie Tales....this video

about Junior the Asparagus

acknowledging that God loves him

would be great for our lesson.

Letting the kids fold papers in 3 ways and draw and write about each of the threefold phenomenons covenant in the Hebrew scriptures. Pg 41

(It's important for the kids to know what God can do) Pg. 43

"God saw, God blessed, the heavens and

earth were finished all [God's] labor.

After we teach the children about God's love for us, and how he died for us. Give them this picture to color after they've learned about God sacrificing his son.
