Welcome (1 minute)
Hello to all, it is good to see you again! Do you remember what our video story was about last time?
Yes, the Ten Commandments! God gave us good rules and guidelines for us to follow. So let’s stand up and praise Him as we sing Put Your Faith In Jesus.

God’s laws give us clear guidelines to help us make the right choices.
Introduce Condensed Bible Story (1 minute)
If all children watched the Bible story video in the previous lesson, you may skip it here and go straight to the Bible Background Video.
In our last lesson, we saw how Chris ignored the park rules and put Joy, Gizmo and himself in a dangerous situation in the cave. Now, for all the children who haven’t seen our Bible story yet, let’s watch a short version to see how God gives the Ten Commandments to Moses. If you have already seen it, watch it this time to see why God told the people to stay away from the mountain.

Condensed Bible Story
Superbook takes Chris, Joy and Gizmo 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.
Discussion (1 minute)
Why did God instruct the Israelites to stay away from mountain and not touch it? God is holy and without sin. We should show Him reverence and honor.

Now let’s watch our Bible Background video to learn more about The Ten Commandments. When Gizmo asks a question in the video, wait for him to suggest some answers, then call out the one you think is right!

SuperVerse Discussion (1 minute)
Our SuperVerse, Leviticus 19:18b, says:
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Who do you think your neighbor is? Others, everybody.
Let’s have all the girls say the SuperVerse. Girls say the SuperVerse. Boys, how do you think they did—and remember to treat the girls the way you want to be treated yourselves! Boys answer.
Okay, boys, now it’s your turn to say the verse. Boys say the SuperVerse. Girls, how do you think they did? Girls answer.
God wants us to treat others as we want to be treated—with love and respect.
Children will have more time to learn the SuperVerse in Small Group.
Prayer and Send-Off (1 minute)
Let’s pray. Dear God, Thank You for loving us and wanting the best for us. Help us to show that same kind of love and kindness to others. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Now it’s time for Small Group where you’ll see what can happen when there aren’t any rules!
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.
