God’s Commandments Preteen Curriculum Series

Challenge and grow your preteens with this midweek, Zoom-friendly curriculum. Using object lessons, cooking, and complex crafts, they will learn about the ten commandments and how they relate to us today!

This six-week curriculum is a study on the 10 Commandments. It is designed to be done entirely over Zoom, but is easily adaptable to be in-person. It is geared towards preteens, and each week includes an icebreaker game, a craft/cooking activity, a teaching time, and a wrap-up prayer activity.

Each lesson includes up to 60 minutes’ worth of activities for 3rd-6th graders, originally used with preteen girls.

Series Overview: The God’s Commandments series will walk through most of God’s commandments in Exodus 20 and Matthew 22*:

• Commandments #1-3 – We put God first.
• Commandment #4 – God made us to rest.
• Commandment #5 – We show love to our parents.
• Commandment #6 – We don’t hurt others.
• Commandments #8-9 – We are called to be trustworthy.
• Commandment #10 – We are made to be content.

(*We chose to leave out the adultery commandment due to the sensitive nature of the topic. However, you could mention it with Commandment #6 as you talk about hurting others physically and emotionally.)

Each of the 6 lessons includes:

• Opening activity
• Craft or cooking activity
• Bible lesson & discussion
• Wrap-up reflection time
