The Commandments in Action!

This past week we talked about the first 5 books of the Old Testament. We had activities that reinforced our scripture readings from Genesis 1, Exodus 20 and Psalm 19. I hope your kids shared their drawings with you illustrating God's creation!

We talked about the 10 Commandments and I asked the kids to take turns acting out each law...

1. You shall have no other gods before me. (Picture E)
