Moses and the Ten Commandments (11:52 minutes) Animated. It uses the Protestant Ten Commandments, but gives a nice over view of Moses life.

Barron on Idolatry (11:04 minutes) Jimmy and the 10 Commandments (5:07 minutes) (Definitely more geared for kids, but will keep their interest.)Father Catfish and the Catholic School Ten Commandments (10:18 minutes) HYPERLINK "" (Geared for preteen maybe.

(6:18 minutes) From ABC and the pastor of Mars Church in Seattle before he left.Discussion: The Ten Commandments were written by God on stone tablets and given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The first three commandments show us what we must do for love of God and the remaining seven show us what we must do for love of neighbor. In addition to our daily prayers and kind deeds, we love and serve God by keeping His commandments and those of His Church. (Shower of ) Did you know there is a difference between the Catholic version of the Ten Commandments vs. the Protestant version of the Ten Commandments. What are those differences? (In Catholicism, the First Commandment is I am the Lord, thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me. Protestants made that into two commandments. Also, Protestants combined number nine and ten of the Catholic commandments to make their number ten.) Discuss.Activity: Do one of the activities below. Materials will depend upon which activity is chosen. We did the folding craft sticks last year, but I really don’t know if everyone remembers. It is easier than it seems. I added different activities for this year as well.Ten Commandments Folding Craft Stick CraftsNOTE: Write down the Catholic Ten Commandments on these. The sticks are taped together so that when the craft sticks are pushed together from the top and bottom of the stack they fan fold up into a compact stack of sticks for storage. This craft is great to use as a memorization tool. Children can test themselves by unfolding one section at a time to reveal the next Commandment. What you will need:Woodsies Mini Jumbo Craft Sticks -4.5" 50/Pkg - Use good quality craft sticks that lay flat. The 5/8" work perfect with the one-inch tape. *You can use the Woodsies Jumbo Craft Sticks with the 1.5 Inch - 3M Scotch Masking Tape for a bigger Canvas.3M Scotch Masking Tape, 1-Inch - Other brands will work, but this tape works great! It is the exact color of the craft sticks. (Staple's Tape works better with the washable markers, but it is lighter than the stick and more transparent and doesn't cover the stick as well.)Permanent Markers, crayons, or colored pencils - (The washable markers don't work well because they smear.)How to Make the Folding Craft Stick Canvas:1. Cut the one-inch masking into 4-inch pieces.2. Place two sticks together, side by side, and tape them together covering both the sticks with the tape. Tape 6 pairs. 3. Turn the 6 pairs over so tape is face down. Now use 4” pieces of tape to connect each pair in a row. Example: stick 1 and 2 are taped together and stick 3 and 4 are taped together. Turn them over and tape sticks 2 and 3 together. Continue till all are connected. 4.. You can also cover the first and last stick in the row by placing tape over the stick and then folding it back over the stick. It is easier to write on the tape than the craft stick. The ink soaks into the sticks and blurs.Children can use permanent markers, pens, or colored pencils to write the Bible verse on the sticks and then decorate them. They can also draw a picture on the back of the sticks that represent the Ten Commandments.If a child messes up while working on his canvas, you can pull off the tape where he messed up and replace it with new tape. These folding craft stick canvases can also be used for many other purposes. You can also be used to make greeting cards for Mother's Day, Father's Day or Birthdays.From Activity 2: The Ten Commandments Lap Book {Catechism Craft with Free Printables!} And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides, and made by the work of God; the writing also of God was graven in the tables.?~ Exodus 32:15-16Our seven year old is currently preparing to make his First Confession and First Holy Communion. At the beginning of the school year we spent some time studying the Seven Sacraments and creating a "Seven Sacrament Stained Glass Window." He has also been working on studying and memorizing The Ten Commandments.The Ten Commandments were written by God on stone tablets and given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The first three commandments show us what we must do for love of God and the remaining seven show us what we must do for love of neighbor. In addition to our daily prayers and kind deeds, we love and serve God by keeping His commandments and those of His Church.Back in 2009 I posted pictures of our first Ten Commandments Lap Book?which I made back then with one of the older boys. ?Last November I decided to make some modifications and printable documents for my current 2nd grader. At the time it also tied in nicely to our History studies (we had just finished reading the chapter on "The Law of Moses" from Augustus Caesar's World) so the girls all asked if they could make Ten Commandment Lap Books too. I'm finally getting around to posting pictures along with the links to my documents to share!This Ten Commandments Lap Book provides a perfect opportunity for reviewing the commandments with children, as well as a helpful resource for memorization!Supplies (For Each Student)One File Folder (trim off the tab to create a straight edge)?Two sheets of Grey Cardstock (cut into 10 – 5.5”x3” rectangles)?Black Pen or Pencil?Colored Pencils, Markers, or CrayonsScissors and Glue StickList of the Ten Commandments (download and print my document)?Bible Verse or Quote about Ten Commandments (download and print my document)?Moses or Ten Commandments Coloring Page (I used a coloring page from St. John the Baptist Religious Education)?DirectionsOpen the file folder and find the midpoint. Fold each side in to meet that point creating a “shutter fold.” Trim the top edge to resemble stone tablets. Title the cover of the Lap Book with “The Ten Commandments” or you may choose to use a coloring page, glued to only one of the front flaps, to create an image for the cover.Create 10 small “mini-books” with the 5.5”x3” rectangles of grey cardstock. Fold each rectangle in half and then fold each side in to the midpoint. Trim the top edge of each to resemble stone tablets. Write, trace, or glue the Ten Commandments inside the ten grey tablets.1. I am the Lord, thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.3. Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day.4. Honor thy father and thy mother.5. Thou shalt not kill.6. Thou shalt not commit adultery.7. Thou shalt not steal.8. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife.10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods.If you choose this activity, definitely bring additional scissors so the parents can help cut everything. And the color doesn’t have to be grey. And you don’t have to print out separate tags for each commandment, just write the commandment in the middle.It will look something like this:Activity 3: Using Butcher Paper or Paper Bag, cut out tablets. Print off Ten commandments (below) and cut out. Glue stick down to paper as shown.I am the Lord, thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.3. Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day.4. Honor thy father and thy mother.5. Thou shalt not kill.6. Thou shalt not commit adultery.7.
