Hi Friends!
I have been working hard to get more religion resources out for you! The next activity that is prepped and ready, is a lesson the Two Great Commandments. Don't worry, the 10 Commandments will be coming your way soon!
Let's not forget that the Two Great Commandments are important as well. If we were to live by these two commandments only, we would also be following the 10 Commandments. I created a Great Commandment Flip Book that you can use in the classroom, or at home (for all my home schooling mamas out there).
The kids have enjoyed having these books to help learn their new religion material. Each page focuses on one skill, and the tab at the top helps them remember the focus. In the flip book, the kids learn what a commandment is and why the are important. There is also a page for each commandment, with an activity to go along with the passage.
In the lesson, we discussed the importance of rules and how they keep us safe. Students made connections about rules they have in their house and why they are there. If you need to connect this lesson to another subject, you could also tie in your social studies standard: SS2CG1 Define the concept of government and the need for rules and laws.
Next, the lesson shifted to us talking about love. It all boils down to this. How simple is the commandment, but yet one of the hardest thing for us to live by. Students were able to talk about how it is hard for them to be nice to their siblings at times. It was neat to see them understand how tough it can be to put love first. We didn't just stop with talking about the struggles though! After, we discussed some acts of kindness, and God's grace. The students were able to brainstorm ways to handle future situations with their siblings or kids on the playground. Now will they follow through? Only time will tell. It may take time, but if we keep teaching them about God's love and mercy, they will have the strength and the grace to fully live by it.
