10 Commandments Craft Ideas and Games: 10 Ideas to Try
Games
Playing active games at the beginning of a lesson helps children engage (and burn off some energy). Meanwhile, playing games at the end of a lesson, when time allows, reinforces what students have learned.
For this active game, the teacher or leader calls out commandments one at a time. Players then take turns trying to knock down a cup that represents that particular law.
Tactile learners will love this activity. And teachers will love how mess-free it actually is. Simply have young kids “paint” flat rocks with water. They can either free paint or trace words of Scripture. Just write a commandment (or a few words from it) on the rock ahead of time, in white crayon.
