Welcome (1 minute)
Hello everyone and welcome! How many of you like to follow rules?
Today, we are going to learn about some very important rules that God gave us to guide and protect us. We will watch a new Superbook story today called “The Ten Commandments.” Let’s watch our video and see what’s going on with Chris, Joy and Gizmo.
Play Video 2: Chris and Joy’s Dilemma (4 minutes)
Chris and Joy's Dilemma
Chris ignores the camp rules and gets trapped in a cave with Joy and Gizmo.
SuperTruth and Discussion (2 minutes)
Why did Chris think he didn’t need to follow the rules?
Was it right for Chris to change the way the sign was pointing?
Do you think Chris thought about the bad things that might happen?
Today’s SuperTruth says, “I will love God.” This is the best decision that we can ever make! When we love God and put Him first, our lives are filled with God’s favor and protection!
Now, let’s watch the rest of today’s Superbook video to see what happens!

Bible Story and Resolution
Superbook takes them to meet the Israelites, who are freed from slavery in Egypt and on their way through the desert to the Promised Land. While Moses meets with God on the mountain, the Israelites endanger themselves by doing whatever they please—until Moses returns with the Ten Commandments. Back in the cave, Chris’ new appreciation for rules helps create a happy ending.

SuperVerse Discussion (1 minute)
Now, let’s say our SuperVerse, Deuteronomy 6:5, together.
“So love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength.”
God is worthy of all of our praise and worship. We must give Him our whole selves; inside, outside, and with all of our might.
Children will have more time to learn the SuperVerse in Small Group.
Prayer and Send-Off (1 minute)
Let’s pray together. Dear God, thank You for giving us rules to guide and protect us. Help us to love You with all of our heart, soul and strength! In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Do you remember in the video when God provided manna from the sky for the Israelites to eat?
When we go to Small Group, we are going to play a game about that. Are you ready?
Teachers take children to Small Group classes for Grades 1–3 and 4–6. If the combined group is small, all children may stay together for Small Group time.
