Read Exodus 19:1-25 from a child-friendly Bible, and then continue:
Then God
spoke, and he gave his people the Commandments. (Use the Look n’ Learn Ten Commandment’s
Cards,
to teach the commandments to your class. After several minutes of rehearsing, play the game, “Come
On Up, Moses!”)
Set Up:
You will need a set of the Look n’ Learn Ten Commandment’s
Cards and a set of the commandments printed individually on strips of paper
without their corresponding numbers. If you have a lot of
children, divide them into teams. However, each
player or team will need their own set of numberless commandments. You may want to use different colors of paper to distinguish teams, but this isn’t necessary.
Establish a running course, preferably with a set of stairs. At the top of the
stairs place the strips of numberless commandments.
How to Play: At the go, players race the course, ascend the
stairs to climb “Mount Sinai,” retrieve one commandment, and then descend to the start position where they will
begin to arrange their commandments in the correct order. Players continue racing the course,
climbing up Mount Sinai, then down, until all the commandments have been retrieved.
First player or team to receive all their commandments and place them in
correct order wins.
