He wants us to remember how important and powerful he is, so we need to be careful with his name.”Ĭommandment number three: The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Some people say it when they are angry, or surprised, like OMG! God doesn’t like that. God’s name is very special so we only use it in love. It can just be a pretty picture.”Ĭommandment number two: There can’t be two gods, so don’t try making any.Įnjoying this post? Check out 7 Days Of Creation | PRINTABLE Matching Gameģ.Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God. Can your picture be god? Even if it’s really pretty? Even if it makes you feel good to love that picture? Your picture can’t love you back, can’t help you, can’t get you into heaven. That would be like you drawing a picture and then saying your picture was your god. “They made a gold statue and then worshiped it. This one I explained by telling the story of Moses going up the mountain to get the commandments from God only to come back down and find the Israelites worshiping a golden calf instead of God. God comes first.” So explaining this first commandment was not a stretch for Squeaks.Ĭommandment number one: There is only one God. “Mom and Dad get their rules from God, He put us in charge, but we have to do what He says just like you do. We have always tried in our family to make it very clear that God is in charge. Of course once I explain that anything can be a god, it gets a little more complicated, but Squeaks was still 100% on board. I love how easy this is for a child to accept. Get your Ten Commandments Printable Memory Game here! Here’s how I explained each of the ten commandment: 1. Explaining concepts like adultery and coveting to a four year old takes some forethought. I kind of had to think through my explanations on a few of the commandments before I even started the game with Squeaks. Then just laminate, cut out the icons, add Velcro dots and let the learning commence! I printed mine directly on the back of our game.
COMMANDMENTS MEMORY PICTURES PLUS
Velcro for the win! Plus I’ve included an answer key so you can double check that the icons for each commandment are in the correct order. It’s set up just like my Shapes Matching Game and Paint Splash Color Matching Game. Even though some of the images still have some small words on them, they’re pretty intuitive and Squeaks understood the connection right away.
The fact that they’re in emoji form is a fun and kind of silly bonus. My first obstacle in creating this activity was that my kiddos can’t read yet, so I created images to go with each commandment. Once you can believe the overwhelming truth of Genesis 1:1, the ten commandments are kind of like step two in the being-a-Christian handbook.Teaching them to my kids is a natural step in my opinion and I’m hoping this little game will make it easier and fun for them to learn.
The ten commandments are the basics of our Christian faith. If you follow one of my links I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
