Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Exodus 19–20
After bringing Israel out of Egypt, God makes a covenant with the people at Sinai. The commandments describe faithfulness to God and responsibilities towards neighbours, including truthfulness, rest and respect for life.
Main takeaway: The commandments connect love for God with how we treat other people.
As you turn the wheel
Turn slowly and use each revealed section as a pause in the retelling.
Choose one commandment about neighbours and turn it into a concrete example involving truth, rest, belongings or care for someone’s life.
Younger learners can predict the next pictured event. Older learners can explain a character’s decision at the point where it appears.
Questions to explore
- What had God already done for Israel?
- Which commandment concerns telling the truth?
- How does respecting another person’s belongings show care?
