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 put the story in order
Read the story sections before attaching them, then use the finished sequence to explain what changes.
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 choose what happens first and next. Older learners can explain why a turning point changes the story.
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?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download is a 2-page PDF: TheTenCommandments_Exodus20_.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
How do I fold the five story panels?
Colour the numbered story sheet. Fold upwards on the dotted line with the pictures outside, fold the left and right sides towards the centre, then fold the cover and panel 5 as shown in the illustrated guide. This is a folded picture book, rather than five separate PDF pages. The pictured scenes include: God calls Moses up Mount Sinai; The mountain shakes with thunder and lightning; God gives Moses two stone tablets; The commandments are written by God; God shows His people how to live His way.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 landscape. TheTenCommandments_Exodus20_.pdf: print page 2 for each learner or group. Page 1 is the assembly guide, which can be shared. Print single-sided. On US Letter paper, select Letter and Fit or shrink to the printable area; the originals are not separate Letter-sized files.
What supplies and preparation does this need?
Paper and colouring pencils. An adult can demonstrate the centre folds and read the five panels aloud. The supplied method uses folding rather than glued-on picture strips.
What help might children need with this activity?
The main demands are following five pictured events and making the centre folds. Demonstrate the folding and read the captions aloud for children who need help. Younger children can colour and retell using a book an adult has folded.
