Which rules does the child think are good? What rules would they make? Ask the chil with the child. Tic-tac-toe would be @ good one. For the first game, if they have ever broken a rule and regretted it. Play a game follow the rules. For the second game, allow the child to make up rules. For the third game, you make up the rules and take several turns in a row to win. Ask the child if following the rules made the game more fun or less fun.

Use this to illustrate that we need to obey God’s law or we will be hurt. Explain that we can never be perfect, but God sent Jesus to be perfect on our behalf. Point out that the Israelites had to wash their clothes, but Jesus can wash our hearts. Celebrate that we can become perfect when we put our trust in Jesus.

Pray with the child to ask Jesus to help them obey God's laws.a¢n) Gommanamenrs After God delivered Israel from the Egyptians, the people began to travel toward the new land God had promised to give them. After three months, they arrived at Mount Sinai. Moses climbed the mountain, and God spoke to him and told Moses what to say to Israel. “You have seen all the mighty things that | can do. Obey me fully, and you will be my special people.” Moses returned to Israel and told them all that God had said. The people said, “We will do everything God has commanded.” Moses told God they would obey. God said, “Tell the people to prepare. They need to wash their clothes and be clean. | am holy.” The people washed and cleaned themselves to prepare. On the morning of the third day, a thick cloud covered the mountain. Thunder and lightning shook the sky. A mighty trumpet blast sounded. Everyone trembled at the majesty of God. 8 3639 truewaykids-comMoses led them to the foot of the mountain. The trumpet sound grew louder and louder. The Lord descended on the mountain in fire and smoke billowed. God called Moses to come to the top of the mountain. God began to tell Moses all the laws He had made. So that they could live the best life God wanted for them. When the people saw all the thunder, lightning, and smoke, they were very afraid. Moses said, “Do not fear. God is testing you so that the fear of God will keep you from sinning.” So Moses returned to the mountain to hear all the laws God had created. Moses went back to the people to tell them all the commandments and write down all that God had told him. The people heard what God had commanded and said, “We will okey.” Moses returned to the mountain and stayed there for forty days and forty nights. God gave him many more laws that the people needed to obey. God finished speaking to Moses and gave him the stone tablets inscribed by Goa's own finger. These laws would show Israel right from wrong.Ten Commandments Crossword First Keep God in__ place. 4 |5 Name Always say God’s __with love.
