bikerFor primary and older, learning the Ten Commandments is elementary— even more so than learning to ride a bike!

Click on the image to download a .pdf that features a Write the Ten Commandments exercise, followed by a Write the Greatest Commandments page. The final page is a quiz to see if the children learned.

By seeing how Jesus condensed the Ten Commandments from ten to two, some children will feel that he understands their limitations!

In the Pdf, you will find a bold-type version of some commandments for very young children so that they are not overwhelmed. However, for classes with a range of ages or varying levels of skills, the more advanced students can write the entire Scriptures.

This exercise can take an entire class period or could be a one-per-class opening activity.

Lions Like Daniel

lionWith Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman and so many others who show off their super human powers, a child can become apathetic about miracles in the Bible. Yet, the story of Daniel in the Lion's Den cannot help but impress and encourage a child who must endure bullies, overbearing siblings and even some less than stellar teachers and relatives.

Daniel 6 is one of the great chapters of the Bible. What adult has ever forgotten it once it became part of their literary background?

Click on the image for a .pdf with the chapter divided into narrations and parts so that everyone in the class will have a role to play in the drama. A quiz is included to test students' recall of the action. Another activity might be to have students look up passages that encourage Christians on how and when to pray. Daniel prayed three times a day. How often should we? (Luk 18:1; Luk 21:36; Rom 12:12; Eph 6:18; Col 4:2; 1 Thess 5:17; 1Pe 4:7)

gloriousLearning The Lord's Prayer is a foundational activity of Sunday School and home education. Memorizing it is important, and understanding what it says is even more so.

Click on the image for a .pdf that you can print with meditations on the verses of the Lord's Prayer. Students can read aloud the meditations and then ask questions. The .pdf will help you to start a conversation about the Lord's Prayer.

With 14 pages, you will have an "opening exercise" for a Sunday School quarter, and within three months, all students should be able to recite the Lord's prayer and understand what they are praying. Some meditations may take two Sundays.

The .pdf includes several quiz exercises and aids to memorization.
