God's Ten Rules Theme: During
this program you will be teaching the children about
the Ten Commandments and what they mean as applied to the child’s life
today.
Each week you will emphasize one
aspect as well as briefly
covering the remainder of the commandments.The first week you give the background – how the
Israelites had
forgotten God’s Laws while in slavery in Egypt
and then briefly cover the rest of the Ten Commandments.The next week you would
discuss the first
Commandment in detail and briefly mention the rest as you sing the song
that
goes with the commandment and so forth.
The week after the fourth commandment
I would use it as a major revision
of the first four commandments and emphasize that they all have to do
with
worshipping God.
The next week you would begin
emphasizing of the remaining six
commandments and thethirteenth
Sabbath
would be a revision of them all.
Each
week impress upon the children that the Ten
Commandments show us what God is like and represent His character.God gave them to us
because He loves us very
much and wants to spend eternity with us.
For decorations you will need a large
felt board in the centre
or a prominent place on which to place a large felt Ten Commandments
Stone
background with a picture of Jesus’ face in the centre.Through out the program you will add pictures
to represent each of the commandments.This will be your centre piece for the day.In one corner you could
set up a Mt Sinai
with people around it to represent when the Law was given to the
Israelites.In
another corner show Jesus
as a boy either at worship or being kind or gentle and caring to show
that
Jesus kept the commandments when He was a boy.
I have a 40 inch felt Jesus which is
attached to a piece of
wood and I like to stand it up near the doorway where the children come
in –
showing that Jesus is welcoming them to Sabbath School.
If
you have spare wall space that needs decorations – place
pictures down at the children’s eye level that will illustrate aspects
of the
Ten Commandments – be sure to add a picture of Jesus.
