Understanding and managing emotions is like giving children a superpower toolkit for life! Emotions are the colorful, vibrant threads that weave through the fabric of every child’s experience, shaping their thoughts, actions, and relationships. Just as we equip them with knowledge and skills, nurturing their emotional intelligence is equally crucial. It’s the key to unlocking their potential, helping them navigate the rollercoaster of feelings with confidence and resilience.

Of course, what’s an adventure without a touch of ancient wisdom and timeless guidance? Enter biblical teachings, our trusty map through the twists and turns of emotional exploration. Like a wise old friend, the Bible offers stories, verses, and nuggets of insight that illuminate the path to understanding and managing our feelings.

So, buckle up, because we’re diving into the exciting world of understanding and embracing emotions in our little superheroes and Christ-followers. So, grab your magnifying glass and get ready to uncover feelings and treasures hidden within the pages of scripture!

Understanding Emotions Through Scripture

In this section, we’re going to explore how the Bible can help us understand and deal with our feelings. From moments of joy to times of sadness, fear, and everything in between, we’ll explore how biblical teachings offer insights and guidance to navigate the wide range of emotions with faith and understanding. So, let’s dive into how the Bible can help us make sense of our emotions and learn to handle them better.

Identifying Common Emotions

Together, let’s look at 12 common emotions: joy, fear, sadness, anger, love, happy, lonely, confused, mad, calm, tired, excited, and worried.

Joy

Joy is a deep feeling of happiness and contentment that comes from within. It’s more than just temporary pleasure; it’s a sense of inner peace and fulfillment that transcends circumstances. Joy is a fundamental emotion that children experience in various situations. The Bible is replete with verses that emphasize the importance of joy. Additionally, characters like David exemplify joy through praise and gratitude, despite facing challenges.

Bible Verses with Joy:

  • Psalm 126:3 “The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”
  • Galatians 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
  • Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in faith so that you overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit”.

Example of Bible Stories with Joy:

  • Genesis 21: Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac.
  • Matthew 2: The Birth of Jesus and the Wisemen’s Excitement
  • Psalm 51: David’s prayer to the Lord

Fear

Fear is that fluttery feeling in your stomach when something seems scary or unknown. It’s like when you’re afraid of the dark or worried about what might happen next. Fear can make your heart race and your palms sweaty, but it’s also a normal emotion that helps keep us safe by alerting us to potential dangers. In the Bible, fear often comes up when people face challenges or uncertainties, but it also teaches us to trust in God’s protection and guidance. Stories of courage, such as David facing Goliath, inspire children to trust in God’s protection.

Bible Verses about Fear:

  • Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
  • 1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
  • Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Examples of Bible Stories with Fear:

  • 1 Samuel 17: David and Goliath
  • Matthew 14:22-33: Jesus Walks on Water
  • Mark 4:35-41: Jesus Calms the Storm

Sadness

Sadness is a natural emotion that children may experience during times of loss or disappointment. However, the Bible provides comfort and hope in moments of sadness.  The story of Joseph’s reconciliation with his brothers demonstrates God’s ability to turn sorrow into joy.

Scripture References about Sadness:

  • Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
  • John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
  • Psalm 31:9 “Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow.”

Examples of Bible Stories with Sadness:

  • John 11: The Death of Lazarus (Jesus wept.)
  • 2 Samuel 12:15-23: David’s son dies
  • Jeremiah 9:1: Jeremiah is often referred to as the weeping prophet.

Anger

Anger is another emotion that children must learn to manage constructively. In many cases, it can be used interchangeably with mad. Ephesians 4:26 advises, “In your anger do not sin.” Jesus’ example of righteous anger in cleansing the temple teaches children the importance of standing up for what is right without letting anger control their actions.

Bible Verses about Anger:

  • James 1:20 “Anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.”
  • Psalm 37:8 “Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.”
  • Ephesians 4:26 “In your anger do not sin.”

Examples of Anger in Bible Stories:

  • Matthew 21:12-17: Jesus Flips Tables in the Temple
  • 1 Samuel 19: Saul tries to kill David
  • Genesis 4: Cain and Abel

Love

Love is a foundational principle emphasized throughout the Bible. Verses like 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 describe love as patient, kind, and forgiving. The story of the Good Samaritan illustrates the importance of showing love and compassion to others, regardless of differences.

Bible Verses with Love:

  • John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
  • 1 Corinthians 13:13 “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
  • Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Examples of Bible Stories on Love :

  • Luke 10:25-37: The Parable of the Good Samaritan
  • Luke 15:11-32: The Parable of the Lost Son
  • 1 Corinthians 13: Definition of Love

Happy

Happiness is that awesome feeling when everything just seems right in the world. In the Bible, there are verses that remind us to appreciate the good times. Like in Psalm 118:24, which says, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” So, when you’re feeling happy, remember to thank God for all the good stuff happening around you.

Scriptures on Happiness:

  • Psalm 118:24 “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
  • Proverbs 15:13 “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.”
  • Psalm 37:4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Examples of Happy Bible Stories:

  • Exodus 15:20-21: Miriam rejoices for crossing the Red Sea on dry ground
  • Luke 15:11-32: The Prodigal Son
  • Genesis 46:29-34: Joseph reunites with his father

Lonely

Loneliness is a poignant emotion that children may encounter when they feel isolated or disconnected from others. It’s like a shadow that follows them, reminding them of their longing for companionship and belonging. In the Bible, there are verses that remind us we’re never truly alone. Like in Psalm 27:10, that mentions even if our moms and dads leave us, God would still be there. So, when a child is feeling lonely, remind them that God is our forever friend, ready to keep you company and bring you comfort, just like a warm hug from a loved one.

Bible Verses on Loneliness:

  • Joshua 1:9 “The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
  • Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
  • John 14:18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”

Stories of Loneliness in the Bible:

  • Jeremiah 15: Jeremiah’s Lamentations
  • Matthew 26:36-46: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane
  • Genesis 37:12-36: Joseph Sold by His Brothers

Confused

Confusion is like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces – it can leave you feeling lost and unsure. But even in those moments, the Bible offers guidance and reassurance. In 1 Corinthians 14:33, it says, “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” So, when you’re feeling confused, remember to turn to God for clarity and peace, just like finding your way with a trusted guide.

Bible Verses on Disorder:

  • 1 Corinthians 14:33 “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.”
  • James 3:16 “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.”
  • 1 Corinthians 14:40: “But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.”

Examples of Bible Stories with Confusion:

  • Jonah 2: Jonah in the Whale
  • Genesis 11:1-9: The Tower of Babel
  • Acts 2:1-13: The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost

Calm

Calm, peace, or tranquility is a serene state of mind that children may experience when they feel a sense of inner quiet and contentment. It’s like a gentle breeze that soothes the soul and brings a sense of relaxation amidst life’s storms. In the Bible, there are scriptures that offer comfort and assurance of God’s presence in bringing calmness to our hearts. For instance, in Philippians 4:6-7, it says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” This verse reminds us that God’s peace surpasses all human understanding and brings a deep sense of tranquility to our lives. Just as joy brings happiness and contentment, experiencing God’s peace allows children to find rest and solace in His presence, no matter the circumstances they face. God has it!

Bible Verses on Peace:

  • Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
  • John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid”.
  • Psalm 29:11 “The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.”

Examples of Bible Stories on Calm in Chaos:

  • Mark 4:35-41: Jesus in the Storm
  • Acts 16:16-40: Paul and Silas in Prison
  • Daniel 6:10-23: Daniel in the Lions’ Den

Tired

Tiredness or exhaustion is a common feeling that children may experience after a long day of activities or when they’re feeling physically or emotionally drained. It’s like a heavy blanket weighing them down, making it difficult to find energy or motivation. In the Bible, there are verses that offer comfort and strength to those who are tired or weary. For instance, in Isaiah 40:31, it says, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” This verse reminds us that God provides the strength we need to overcome exhaustion and persevere through challenging times. Just as joy brings happiness and contentment, finding renewal in God’s strength helps children navigate through moments of tiredness and exhaustion with resilience and perseverance.

Bible Verses on Exhaustion:

  • Isaiah 40:31 “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.”
  • Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
  • Colossians 1:10-11 “So that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience.”

Examples of Bible Stories with Exhaustion:

  • Judges 16: Samson and Delilah
  • Jonah 4:5-11: Jonah Resting Under the Vine
  • 1 Kings 19:1-8: Elijah Flees to Horeb

Excited

Excitement is a thrilling feeling that children often experience when they’re looking forward to something special or anticipating an upcoming event. It’s like a bubbling energy inside them, making them feel eager and enthusiastic. In the Bible, there are verses that celebrate moments of excitement and anticipation. For example, in Psalm 37:4, it says, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” This verse reminds us that God delights in our excitement and desires to bring us joy. Just as joy brings happiness and contentment, excitement adds a spark of anticipation to our lives, reminding children that there’s always something wonderful to look forward to.

Bible Verses with Zeal:

  • Psalm 150:6 “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
  • Romans 12:11 “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
  • Psalm 122:1 “I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.'”

Examples of Bible Stories with Excitement:

  • Matthew 21:1-11: Palm Sunday – The Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem
  • Acts 2:1-4: The Day of Pentecost
  • Exodus 14:21-22: The Israelites Cross the Red Sea through a Wall of Water

Worried

Worry is a common feeling that children may experience when they feel anxious or uncertain about something. It’s like a cloud that hangs over their thoughts, making them feel uneasy or restless. In the Bible, there are verses that offer comfort and reassurance to those who are worried or with anxiety. For instance, in Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus encourages His followers not to worry about their needs, assuring them that God cares for them deeply. Just as joy is a foundational emotion, so is finding peace amidst worry, and the Bible provides guidance and comfort to children facing anxious moments.

Bible Verses on Anxiety:

  • 1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
  • Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
  • Matthew 6:25  “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?”

Examples of Bible Stories with Worry:

  • Acts 16:16-40: Paul and Silas in Prison
  • Daniel 6: Daniel in the Lion’s Den
  • Matthew 6:25-34: List of Reasons not Worry

Explaining the Holy Trinity to kids? Teaching kids about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is like unlocking a magical mystery box. The idea of God 3-in-1 can feel puzzling at first, but fear not! Dive into our treasure trove of delightful Sunday School crafts and clever tips to make learning about the Holy Trinity a blast for your little ones. Let’s embark on this faith-filled adventure together!

how to teach kids the holy trinity

The Holy Trinity is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, encompassing the belief in one God existing in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. While this God is 3-in-1 concept may seem complex, especially for young minds, it holds profound significance in understanding the nature of God and His relationship with his people.

So what is the importance of teaching the Trinity to children? Introducing children to the concept of the Holy Trinity is essential for their spiritual growth and understanding. By laying the foundation of this fundamental belief early on, parents and educators can help children develop a deeper connection to their faith and foster a sense of reverence and awe for the divine. Moreover, grasping the concept of the Trinity can instill values of unity, love, and community, shaping children’s worldviews and guiding them in their journey of faith.

Understanding the Holy Trinity

the holy trinity for kids lessons and crafts

What is the Holy Trinity?

At its core, the Holy Trinity represents the threefold nature of God. It embodies the belief that God exists as three distinct persons, yet is one divine being. These three persons are the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. Each part of the Trinity has its own job in God’s plan, but they stick together forever (inseparable) and have always been around (co-eternal.)

Explanation of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

  • The Father: Often portrayed as the Godhead, the creator of the universe The Father embodies a sense of loving authority and nurturing care for all creation. He’s like the wise overseer of everything, guiding and protecting us with a fatherly touch.
  • The Son (Jesus Christ): Jesus Christ is like the human side of God, coming to earth as a friend to teach humankind important lessons and show us what God’s love really means. His teachings, sacrifice, and resurrection offer us hope and a path to reconciliation with God.
  • The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is often described as the divine presence within believers, guiding, comforting, and empowering them in their faith journey. It is through the Holy Spirit that God interacts with individuals and manifests His power (the power of God) in the world.

Analogy of the Trinity Using Examples Children Can Relate To

Explaining the concept of the Trinity to children can be challenging but using relatable analogies can make it easier to grasp. For instance, just as water can exist in three states—liquid, solid (ice), and gas (vapor)—yet remains H2O, the Trinity comprises three distinct persons while being one God. Similarly, consider the analogy of an apple: it consists of the peel, the flesh, and the core. Though 3 parts of an apple, it is one apple. These simple comparisons help children understand the concept of 3-in-1 with distinct rolls within the Trinity, making it more accessible and relatable to their young minds.

Trinity Sunday

Incorporating a lesson for kids on the Holy Trinity can happen whenever and wherever.  However, in the Christian calendar, Trinity Sunday stands out as a special celebration that falls on the first Sunday after Pentecost. It serves as a time to honor and reflect upon the Holy Trinity – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Churches often mark this occasion with special services, hymns, and prayers that highlight the central role of the Blessed Trinity in Christian theology. Beyond the theological implications, Trinity Sunday also serves as a reminder of the profound relationship between God and mandkind.

Let’s learn more about the Holy Trinity for Kids to be used in homeschooling, Christian education, family devotions, kids’ ministry, or Sunday school classrooms.

The Life of Moses Story Overview

the life of moses in the bible

Moses is one of the most important figures in the Bible, known for leading the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai. The stories of Moses unfold across the Old Testament in the Books of the Bible including Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers. However, his legacy transcends these books, as he is repeatedly mentioned throughout the Bible. Notably, he stands as one of the prophets most frequently referenced in the New Testament.

Moses’ full story is full of exciting events and miracles that make it a great source of inspiration for kids’ crafts. Starting with his birth and going to the final days in the wilderness, there are many examples of where God was at work in the life of Moses.

The Birth of Moses

Moses was born during a time when the Pharaoh of Egypt had ordered all Hebrew baby boys to be killed. His mother put him in a basket and set him adrift on the Nile River, where he was found by the Pharaoh’s daughter and raised in the royal court.

Moses and the Burning Bush

After leaving Egypt, one day while tending his flock in the wilderness, Moses saw a burning bush that was not consumed by the flames. God spoke to him from the bush and told him to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt.

The 10 Plagues

Moses and his brother Aaron went to Pharaoh and demanded that he release God’s people. When he refused, God sent ten plagues upon Egypt, including turning the Nile River into blood, sending swarms of locusts, and causing darkness to cover the land.

The Exodus

After the final plague, in which every firstborn son in Egypt died, Pharaoh finally agreed to let the slaves go. Moses led them out of Egypt, but Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued them with his army. God parted the Red Sea so the Israelites could escape and then closed it on the pursuing Egyptians.

The Ten Commandments

While the Israelites were in the wilderness, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. These commandments are still considered a cornerstone of Judeo-Christian morality.

The Tent of Meeting & The Tabernacle

After receiving the Ten Commandments, Moses built the Tent of Meeting, a portable sanctuary where he could meet with God. Later, the Israelites built the Tabernacle, a larger and more permanent version of the Tent of Meeting, to house the Ark of the Covenant and other sacred objects.

The Death of Moses

Despite the many miracles that occurred during his lifetime and his faithfulness to the Lord, Moses never went into the promise Land. Instead, his life ended on a mountain, Mount Nebo. There God gave Moses a glimpse of the promised land before he died.

By creating crafts that reflect the events and themes of Moses’ life story, children can learn about important values such as courage, faith, and perseverance through hard times.

Let’s look at a timeline of crafts that depict different events in the life of Moses.

Craft Materials and Safety Tips

life of moses crafts and activities for kids

Choosing the Right Materials

When it comes to Moses crafts for kids, choosing the right materials is important to ensure that the craft is safe and enjoyable. Here are some materials that are commonly used in crafts for Moses:

  • Construction paper
  • Cardstock (I love this cardstock)
  • Scissors
  • Glue sticks
  • Markers
  • Paint
  • Paintbrushes
  • Tissue Paper
  • Brass Fasteners
  • Cotton balls
  • Popsicle sticks

… and more!

It’s important to choose age-appropriate materials for the craft. For example, younger children should use safety scissors instead of regular scissors to avoid accidents.  Preschoolers can enjoy Moses coloring pages or activities that do not involve cutting. Older kids can choose Moses activities that are more intricate and detailed.

Safety Guidelines for Kids Crafts

When working on Moses crafts with kids, safety should be a top priority. Here are some safety guidelines to keep in mind:

  • Always supervise children when they are using scissors, glue, or other craft materials.
  • Make sure that craft materials are non-toxic and safe for children to use.
  • Keep small objects, such as beads or buttons, out of reach of young children as they can be a choking hazard.
  • Encourage children to wash their hands after using craft materials to avoid any potential health risks.
  • Store craft materials in a safe place where children cannot access them when they are not being used.

By following these safety guidelines and choosing the right materials, kids can have a fun and safe time creating crafts about Moses.

The second transforms a simple coloring page into a dynamic 3D scene using tissue paper to simulate the fiery flames, offering a colorful exploration of texture and depth. These creative crafts invite kids to explore the story of Moses in an interactive and imaginative way.

Fiery Handprint Bush

Fiery Handprint burning Bush of moses

Kids can create their own burning bush with this fiery handprint craft. Start by having the child paint their hand with red, orange, and yellow paint. Then, have them press their hand onto a piece of paper to create the bush. Once the flames of fire dry, use a hot glue gun to glue small twigs on the paper to represent a bush. This craft is a fun way to teach kids about the story of Moses and the burning bush. For a classroom display or fun Moses Bulletin Board, you can combine handprints from the students to make one large burning bush classroom display.

Accurate Bible Depiction: The leaves on the burning bush did not burn. Once the Moses handprint art is dry, also add green leaves showing the bush is still intact.

Tissue Paper Bush Moses Coloring Sheet

For this Moses and the Burning Bush coloring page craft, kids can make a colorful and textured burning bush using tissue paper. Start by coloring the picture of Moses with a burning Bush (or use the included colored copy.) Once complete, have the child crumple up pieces of red, orange, and yellow tissue paper and glue them onto the bush to create the flames for a fun 3-D texture. This Burning Bush Moses craft is a great way to encourage creativity and imagination while learning about the story of Moses.

Sunday School Lesson Activity Idea: Moses was asked to take off his sandals because he was “standing on holy ground.” For these fun Moses Bible Crafts, make it a no-shoe day. Ask the kids to leave their shoes beside the classroom door because they are “standing on Holy ground.”

How do I make a Burning Bush craft that will capture kids’ imaginations?

To make a Burning Bushcraft that will capture kids’ imaginations, you can use tissue paper in shades of red, orange, and yellow to create flames. Extend this idea and add glitter or sequins for extra sparkle. Finally, another idea is to use a battery-operated tea light to make the flames flicker and glow.

Moses Parts the Red Sea Displays

Dive into the miraculous story of Moses parting the Red Sea with two immersive activities that blend creativity, science, and storytelling.

These activities not only make learning about this iconic event fun but also provide a unique opportunity to combine art, science, and history in an engaging and memorable way.

Splitting Water Experiment

Moses parting the red sea science experiment for kids

Kids can recreate the iconic scene of Moses parting the Red Sea with this Simple 5-Minute Science Experiment. For this homeschool lesson on the Red Sea in the Bible, all that is needed is a clear container, water, red food coloring, and cooking oil. Fill the container with water, drops of red food coloring, and a layer of cooking oil on top. The oil will float on top of the water, creating a visible separation. As an extension, using a toothpick or straw, kids can gently stir the oil layer to create a gap in the middle. The water will flow into the gap, creating the illusion of the Red Sea parting. This experiment is a great way to teach kids about the science behind oil and water and the importance of patience and precision in scientific experiments. It’s important to emphasize this is a visual representation of how the Red Sea was parted, but not an accurate depiction as the parting of the Red Sea was a miracle in the bible, not the separation of oil and Water.

Moses and the Red Sea Craft 3-D Diorama

The Red sea craft for kids diorama

Shavuot occurs on the 6th day of the Hebrew month of Sivan, which typically falls in late May or early June. The Torah is the central and most important religious document in Judaism, revered as the foundational text of Jewish law, ethics, traditions, and history. It consists of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Pentateuch, which are Genesis (Bereishit), Exodus (Shemot), Leviticus (Vayikra), Numbers (Bamidbar), and Deuteronomy (Devarim). These books are believed to have been revealed by God to Moses on Mount Sinai and encompass a wide range of teachings, including the 613 commandments (mitzvot) that guide Jewish life and practice.

What is the difference between Tabernacle and Tent of Meeting?

The Tabernacle and the Tent of Meeting were both super important spots for the Israelites when it came to talking to God, but they had their own special roles. Think of the Tabernacle as the main hangout for everyone to get together, worship, and make sacrifices. It was like the community’s spiritual home base. On the other hand, the Tent of Meeting was more of a private chat room where Moses got to catch up with God one-on-one, getting all the latest guidance and insider info. And get this – after Moses had these face-to-face meetings with God, he had to wear a veil because his face was literally glowing. Pretty cool, right? So, while both places were all about connecting with God, they did it in different ways: one was for everyone to join in, and the other was for those heart-to-heart chats with the big guy upstairs.

Let’s take a look.

The Ten Commandments Story

The Old Testament story of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments is a key moment in the Bible, found in the book of Exodus. Here’s a concise version of the story:

The Call of Moses

Moses, once a prince of Egypt who fled to the land of Midian where he was called by God from a burning bush. God tasked him to lead the Israelites out of slavery in the land of Egypt.

The Exodus

After God performed miraculous plagues to compel Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, Moses led them out of Egypt. They crossed the Red Sea and journeyed into the desert towards Mount Sinai (also known as Mount Horeb).

Receiving the Commandments

At Mount Sinai, God called Moses to the top of the mountain. There, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, laws that were meant to guide the moral and spiritual conduct of the Israelites. God’s good rules were written by God on two stone tablets.

The Purpose

The Ten Commandments were given as part of a covenant between God and the Israelites. They were meant to set the Israelites apart from other nations, guiding them in a life of righteousness and justice, and laying the foundation for their relationship with God. The commandments covered aspects of worship, personal conduct, and justice, aiming to create a harmonious society under God’s sovereignty.

This event is pivotal, symbolizing not just the legal and ethical foundation for the Israelites but also God’s direct intervention and care for His chosen people.

How do you explain the 10 Commandments to a child?

The Ten Commandments are a set of rules given by God to the people of Israel, meant to guide them in living a life that’s pleasing to God and respectful to others.

The Ten Commandments are found in Exodus 20:1-17.

The chapter begins,

“And God spoke all these words: ‘I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.'” (verses 1-2)

Here’s a simple breakdown of The Ten Commandments explained in simple terms for younger children:

1.) You shall have no other gods before Me.

You shall have no other gods before Me first commandment tablet

First Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall have no other gods before me.” (verse 3)

Simple Explanation for Kids

Imagine you have a super special best friend who loves you more than anything. That friend is God. God asks us to make sure He is our number one buddy, our superhero. He doesn’t want us to think toys, games, or anything else is more important than Him. He loves us a whole bunch, and He wants us to love Him back the most. Just like when you have a favorite toy, but God wants to be even more special than that toy. God talks about this in a big book called the Bible, and even Jesus said it’s the most important rule: Love God more than anything else. (Matthew 22:37–38)

Practical Questions for Kids

  • Is something more important to you than God?
  • What do you think about first thing in the morning and last thing at night?
  • How do we show God that He is special to us?
  • Who do we talk to when we’re scared or worried?

This means we should only worship God and make Him the most important thing in our lives.

2.) You shall not make idols.

You shall not make idols second commandment tablet

Second Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” (Verses 4-6)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God tells us not to make things like idols of sports, toys, pictures, or statues and pretend they’re super special or magical, like pretending they can listen to us or help us like God can. It’s a bit like when we make a drawing or a Lego building, but we shouldn’t act like these things are as amazing as God. God is like our number one hero, and no superhero toy or movie character should take His place in our hearts. Sometimes, people make things and treat them like they’re super important, almost like they can do what God can do, but that’s not true. God is way more special than anything we can make.

Practical Questions for Kids

  • Do I make idols of sports heroes or entertainment figures?
  • Have I wanted more things making things or money more important than God?
  • Do I have toys or have I made things that are more important to me than God?

We shouldn’t create or worship anything or anyone more than we do God, including toys, celebrities, or money.

3.) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain third commandment tablet

Third Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.” (verse 7)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God’s name is very, very special, like a treasure. We should never use it in a mean, angry, or scary way. Sometimes, people might say God’s name when they’re surprised or upset, but that’s not nice or respectful. God’s name should only be used when we’re talking to Him, praying, or saying nice things about Him. Think of it as using your friend’s name kindly and with love. We shouldn’t pretend that God says it’s okay to do mean things. God’s name is for loving and kind words, not for being used in a bad way.

Practical Questions for Kids

  • Do I use God’s name carelessly?
  • Do I use God’s name in anger?
  • Do I speak of God with respect and love?
  • Have I ever used God’s name when I’m upset or frustrated?
  • Do I remember to use God’s name only in a kind and honoring way?
  • Am I careful with how I say God’s name in my conversations?

We should speak respectfully about God and use His name with care, not as a swear word or in a disrespectful way.

4.) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy fourth commandment tablet

Fourth Commandment Bible Verse

“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” (verses 8 – 11)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God has a special day called the Sabbath, and it’s like a rest day or a super special holiday for our hearts. It’s a day when we don’t have to do any work, like homework or chores, and instead, we get to relax, play gently, and think about how awesome God is. Just like after a long week of playing and learning, we take a day off to chill out, God did the same thing when He made the world. He worked for six days making everything, and on the seventh day, He took a big, relaxing breath. So, God wants us to have a special day every week to rest and remember Him, because resting is good for us and it’s a way to say “thank you” to God for all He does.

Practical Questions for Kids

  • What special things do we do to make the Sabbath different from other days?
  • How can we show that the Sabbath day is important to us?
  • Do I take time to rest and think about God on the Sabbath?
  • What activities do I avoid on the Sabbath to keep it holy?
  • Do I look forward to the Sabbath as a day of rest and worship?

One day a week, we should rest and spend time thinking about God, similar to how we have a day off from school to relax.

5.) Honor your father and your mother.

Honor your father and your mother fifth commandment tablet

Fifth Commandment Bible Verse

 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” (verse 12)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God wants us to be really good to the people who look after us, like our parents or guardians. Everyone has their own special way of showing respect and listening to them because they have lots of experience and can teach us how to stay safe and happy. When we are kind, listen, and help out at home, we are showing that we care. God says that being good to our caregivers helps make our lives better and the world a nicer place to live in. It’s a way of saying “thank you” to them and to God for giving us such great families and homes.

Practical Questions for Kids

  • Do I obey my parents?
  • Have I done my chores without complaining?
  • Have I been disrespectful to teachers, leaders, coaches, or others in charge of me?
  • Do I listen carefully when my parents are talking to me?
  • What are some ways I can help my parents without being asked?

This means we should listen to our parents, respect them, and help out at home.

6.) You shall not murder.

You shall not murder sixth commandment tablet

Sixth Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not murder.” (verse 13)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God tells us that it’s very important to always be kind to others and never hurt anyone on purpose. Everyone’s life is a special gift from God, and it’s not okay to take that away or decide when someone’s life should end. We should always use our words and actions to show love and care, not to make others sad or hurt. It’s like how we know it’s wrong to break someone’s toy, but it’s much, much more serious when it comes to hurting people. God wants us to protect each other and help everyone feel safe and happy.

Practical Questions for Kids

  • Do I keep my patience or do I lose my temper?
  • Do I hold grudges and try to get even with others?
  • Have I been unfair to others, especially those who are different than I am?
  • Why is life special and important to protect?
  • How can we be a good friend and keep others safe?

We should never hurt others. This teaches us the importance of being kind and valuing everyone’s life.

7.) You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not commit adultery seventh commandment tablet

Seventh Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not commit adultery.” (verse 14)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God teaches us that when two people get married, they make a very special promise to always be there for each other and to share their love and life. It’s like promising a best friend, but even stronger. When you make a promise at a wedding, you are entering into a covenant, forever. God wants everyone to keep their promises, especially the ones made when getting married because those promises are very important. It helps everyone feel loved and safe, just like when you make a promise to a friend and you keep it, it makes your friendship stronger and happier.

Practical Questions for Kids

  • What does it mean to be loyal to someone?
  • Do I show respect for my body?
  • Do I respect the bodies of others?
  • What does it mean to be committed to helping and caring for our family and friends?
  • Why is it important to keep promises to our friends and family?

This is a rule for grown-ups, teaching them to be faithful to their spouses. For kids, it means we should be loyal and trustworthy friends.

8.) You shall not steal.

You shall not steal eight commandment tablet

Eighth Commandment Bible Verse

 “You shall not steal.” (verse 15)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God tells us that we shouldn’t take things that belong to someone else. Imagine if you had a favorite toy, and someone took it without asking; you’d feel sad, right? That’s why taking things without permission is not nice. God wants us to be happy with what we have and to ask if we need something, instead of just taking it. It’s important to share and to treat others the way we want to be treated, with kindness and respect.

Practical Questions for Kids

  • Why is it wrong to take things that don’t belong to us?
  • How would you feel if someone took something of yours without asking?”
  • What should you do if you find something that doesn’t belong to you?
  • Why is it important to ask for permission before using someone else’s things?
  • How can we show respect for other people’s belongings?
  • Have I “forgotten” to return something that I borrowed?

Taking something that isn’t yours, without permission, is wrong.

9.) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor ninth commandment tablet

Ninth Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.” (verse 16)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God teaches us that it’s really important to always tell the truth, especially about other people. Imagine if someone said you did something you didn’t do; that wouldn’t feel nice, would it? That’s why we shouldn’t make up stories or lies about others. Sometimes, it might be scary to tell the truth because we think we might get in trouble, but being honest is always the best choice. God wants us to be kind and fair, just like how we would want others to be truthful when they talk about us. Telling the truth helps everyone trust each other and keeps our hearts happy and clean.

Practical Questions for Kids

  • What does it mean to tell the truth about others?
  • How do you feel when someone tells a lie about you?
  • How can telling lies about others hurt their feelings or cause problems?
  • Why do you think God wants us to speak truthfully about our friends/neighbors?
  • What can you do if someone asks you to keep a secret that involves lying about someone else?

We should always tell the truth and not lie about others.

10.) You shall not covet.

You shall not covet tenth commandment tablet

Tenth Commandment Bible Verse

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (verse 17)

Simple Explanation for Kids

God tells us to be happy with the toys, games, and things we have, and not to be upset or jealous about what other kids have. Imagine if your friend has a really cool new toy, and instead of being happy for them, you feel sad or mad because you want it too. God wants us to learn to be thankful for our own things and to celebrate when our friends have nice things too. It’s like being happy with your slice of cake at a party and not being sad because someone else’s slice looks bigger or yummier. God loves it when we share joy and aren’t wishing for everyone else’s stuff.

Practical Questions for Kids

  • What does it mean to be happy with what you have?
  • Why is it important not to be jealous of others’ things?
  • How can you celebrate someone else’s happiness or success?
  • What are some ways to show gratitude for what we have?
  • How does being thankful make us feel better?

We shouldn’t be jealous of what others have, whether it’s their toys, clothes, or anything else. Instead, we should be thankful for what we have.

Discover a fun, interactive way to teach kids the Beatitudes with this adorable Bee-Attitude Craft and Bible Lesson. Spark joy and faith in young hearts as they learn and create using Matthew 5.

The Beatitudes, found in Matthew 5:1-12, are among the most profound teachings of Jesus, offering guidance on living a life that reflects the kingdom of heaven. The Beatitudes are the first of a series of teachings from Jesus, called The Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon of the Mount is broken down into a number of teachings and sections. The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most significant and comprehensive teachings of Jesus Christ, found in the New Testament of the Bible, primarily in the Gospel of Matthew, chapters 5 through 7. It is considered by many as the core of Christian ethical teaching.

This sermon presents a radical call to discipleship and presents the ideals of the kingdom of heaven, contrasting with the legalistic practices of the time. Jesus delivers this sermon on a mountainside to his disciples and a large crowd, hence the name “Sermon on the Mount.”

Here are some key elements and teachings found within the Sermon on the Mount:

  1. The Beatitudes
  2. Salt and Light
  3. Fulfillment of the Law
  4. Teachings on Anger, Lust, Divorce, and Oaths
  5. Love for Enemies
  6. Acts of Righteousness
  7. The Lord’s Prayer
  8. Treasures in Heaven
  9. Do Not Worry
  10. Judging Others
  11. Ask, Seek, Knock
  12. The Golden Rule
  13. The Narrow and Wide Gates
  14. A Tree and Its Fruit
  15. The Wise and Foolish Builders

Today we will focus on section one of the opening of Jesus’ message – The 8 Beatitudes and their meaning. Teaching the values of Jesus’ Beatitudes to children in Sunday School or Bible Lessons can seem challenging, but incorporating crafts into learning can make these biblical principles accessible and engaging even for the youngest hearts. A particularly effective craft for this purpose is the Beatitudes Coloring Wheel, perfect for Christian schools, Sunday school classrooms, Bible studies, or family time.

Let’s look at The Beatitudes for Kids simplified.

Understanding the Beatitudes and Their Meaning

the beatitudes for kids simplified bible activity

The Beatitudes are eight blessings pronounced by Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes list begins in Matthew 5: 1-12. Each Beatitude begins with “Blessed are…” and promises the kingdom of heaven to those who embody the virtues Jesus describes. They offer a wealth of wisdom that can be broken down into easy explanations for Children’s church.

The chapter begins…

“Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them. He said…” (verse 1-2)

Then the list of Beatitudes is introduced.

Here’s a brief overview of each as well as a simplified meaning for kids:

The Poor in Spirit

Bible Verse

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (verse 3)

Explanation

People who don’t have much, like food or clothes, and those who feel something is missing inside and know they really need God’s love, are both considered poor. They’re promised a wonderful gift: a place in heaven. This refers to those who recognize their need for God. It teaches humility and dependence on God’s grace.

Those Who Mourn

Bible Verse

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (verse 4)

Explanation

Anyone feeling sad or going through a tough time, like losing something special, is who Jesus is talking about. He promises to make them feel better. When things get hard, we can either get upset and angry, or we can use it to understand and help others who are hurting too. Comfort is promised to those who grieve, acknowledging the healing and consolation that comes from God.

The Meek

Bible Verse

“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” (verse 5)

Explanation

Meek people are those who are gentle and wait patiently. They solve problems without fighting or getting angry. Their reward is something very valuable – Inheriting the earth. The meek are those who exercise self-control and show gentleness to others.

Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness

Bible Verse

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” (verse 6)

Explanation

This Beatitude encourages a deep desire for justice and moral integrity, promising fulfillment. Being filled is a special blessing for those who really want to make things right and fair in the world. Those who hunger for righteousness can easily spot what’s wrong and often have a clear and straightforward way of looking at complicated problems.

The Merciful

Bible Verse

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (verse 7)

Explanation

Showing compassion earns mercy in return, highlighting the importance of forgiveness and empathy. Mercy can mean a lot of things like being forgiving, kind, and caring. The more mercy you show, the more you’ll find comes back to you. Sometimes it is easier to be merciful to others when you’re also kind to yourself.

The Pure in Heart

Bible Verse

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” (verse 8)

Explanation

A call to sincerity and wholesomeness, promising a vision of God to those who are pure. People who have a pure heart are free from meanness and are full of innocence. They can ‘see’ God clearly because nothing is getting in the way of their view! Those with pure hearts also put God first in everything and everyone.

The Peacemakers

Bible Verse

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (verse 9)

Explanation

Those who foster peace and reconciliation are recognized as children of God. Jesus wants us all to be peacemakers, to spread peace wherever we go. Being God’s children means we should always try to bring people together and help them understand each other. Peacemakers look for ways to solve disagreements kindly, listen to all sides, and find solutions that make everyone feel happy and safe.

Those Persecuted for Righteousness’ Sake

Bible Verse

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (verse 10)

Explanation

Enduring hardship for doing what is right earns the kingdom of heaven, emphasizing the value of standing up for justice. Doing the right thing, like standing up to a bully or facing someone who is being mean, can be tough. Yet, Jesus teaches us that being brave and choosing what’s right is what being his follower is all about. We practice this courage, showing that living like Jesus means standing up for what is good and true.

The sermon concludes with “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (verses 11-12.)

The Beatitudes Coloring Wheel Craft

To make the Beatitudes more relatable to kids, let’s look at some Beatitudes craft ideas. We’ve put together an adorable Bible lesson spinner wheel for kids. The coloring wheel craft for Sunday School is an innovative tool for understanding these parables and extending the Good News into kids’ lives.

Our Beatitudes Coloring wheel requires kids to color the eight Beatitudes on separate sections of a wheel, engage in a cutting activity to prepare the top and bottom parts, and then assemble them using brass fasteners. This activity not only fosters creativity and motor skills but also encourages children to reflect on each Beatitude as they work on the craft.

For younger children or toddlers, a simple coloring page version is available, focusing on the Beatitudes of Jesus without the need for scissors, making it safe and accessible for kids of all ages.

Extending the Lesson

Incorporating the Beatitudes Coloring Wheel into your kids Bible lesson can extend the learning experience in several ways:

  • Interactive Learning: As children engage in this Beatitude craft idea coloring and assembling the wheel, they interact with the text in a hands-on manner, which can help in memorizing and understanding the Beatitudes.
  • Discussion Prompts: Each section of the wheel can serve as a prompt for discussion. Teachers or parents can ask children what each Beatitude means to them and share examples of how they can live out these values in their daily lives.
  • Family Engagement: This craft can also be a tool for family engagement. Parents can work alongside their children, creating an opportunity for spiritual discussion and bonding.
  • Visual Aid: Once completed, the wheel serves as a visual reminder of Jesus’ teachings, which children can refer to regularly, reinforcing the lessons learned.

Embrace Style and Savings: The $45 Quilted Jacket That Rivals Designer Brands

In the world of fashion, finding the perfect balance between style and affordability can sometimes feel like an impossible feat. However, every now and then, you stumble upon a hidden gem that defies expectations. Today, I’m excited to share one such discovery with you: a quilted jacket that’s both chic and budget-friendly.

During a recent online browsing session on Amazon, I came across a stunning quilted jacket priced at $45. Intrigued by its promise of style without breaking the bank, I decided to take the plunge and order it for our trip to India. Upon its arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and attention to detail—truly a steal for the price. It was very light-weight, held its structure, and didn’t smell (some of the standards I look for when ordering clothing online – wink.)

But the real test came when I had the opportunity to compare it to a similar jacket from Free People, a renowned brand known for its bohemian-inspired fashion. Priced at $198, the Free People jacket exuded luxury and sophistication. However, to my amazement, I couldn’t discern any noticeable difference between the two jackets when I saw them both in person. In fact, I wondered if Amazon was selling the exact same jacket as the model and stock photos are EXACTLY THE SAME ON AMAZON! I really couldn’t tell the difference in person.

This revelation speaks volumes about the incredible value offered by the $45 jacket. It proves that you don’t always need to splurge to achieve a high-end look. In fact, with savvy shopping and a discerning eye, you can find budget-friendly alternatives that rival even the most coveted designer brands.

Quilted jackets are currently enjoying a moment in the spotlight, and it’s no surprise why. Their timeless appeal and versatility make them a must-have addition to any wardrobe. Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or simply running errands around town, a quilted jacket effortlessly elevates any ensemble.

If you’re ready to embrace style and savings, I highly recommend exploring quilted jackets from retailers like Free People, Draper James, Altar’d State, and more. Keep an eye out for affordable options that deliver on both quality and aesthetics—you might just be pleasantly surprised by what you find.

In conclusion, don’t underestimate the power of a well-priced piece of clothing. With the right combination of style, quality, and affordability, you can look and feel your best without breaking the bank. So go ahead, indulge in a little retail therapy, and discover your own budget-friendly fashion finds – Happy shopping!

Funny story above – that precious photo is actually a photo of me picking up my high schooler from school so she could come home and babysit my flu child. My husband was out of town and my middle child had a presentation at school. It takes a village to get it all done, right?

Craft the perfect adventure with a little DIY and personalization from the kids. Prepare the clues and personalize the hide-and-seek adventure to create a special hunt for dad.

special dads day scavenger hunt printable

Preparing the Clues

  1. Print the Scavenger Hunt Clue Cards: We’ve made it easy by creating 20 scavenger hunt clues for him. Download the scavenger hunt and cut out the clue cards. In this print-and-play set, choose the clues that fit your home and your dad’s quirks and personality to make it a better experience.  For example, if your dad doesn’t play golf, leave out the clue that would be found with the golf clubs.
  2. Personalize Your Clues: With each clue card, utilize the bonus. We added 24 Editable Coupons included in our printable set. Personalize them using the free Adobe PDF version to cater specifically to your dad’s interests and hobbies.
  3. Strategic Placement: Save the first clue card. You will keep this to start the hunt. Then hide each clue in a location that is meaningful or amusing for your dad. While the locations are already determined, consider utilizing the props around the object related to inside jokes or fond memories. Strategically place the fun clues in spots that spark nostalgia, tickle his funny bone, or challenge his inner Sherlock. For example, if one of the clues is “at the grill” leave a funny note or object on the grill with the clue. One example could be burnt buns symbolizing the last time Dad overcooked the bread and almost burnt the house down. With the placement, add a cute coupon for Dad that says “Good for One Uber Eats Meal.” Placement and personalized details are what will bring laughter and memories.

Creative Ideas for an Engaging Hunt

  • Mix Physical and Intellectual Challenges: Combine clues that require physical activity with those that need problem-solving skills. Make your scavenger hunt extra challenging when you add short puzzles like riddles, problem-solving puzzles, dad jokes he must solve, or even Sodku puzzles.
  • Incorporate Dad’s Favorites: Tailor the hunt around his favorite hobbies, books, or movies. Have small trinkets, prizes, or a hidden gift with each of the clue cards. Or have a giant gift with the last clue.
  • Involve the Whole Family: Turn it into a family affair, where each member can contribute to the planning or participate in the hunt. There is no child too small, no adult too stoic. The whole family can add a small touch and contribute to the giggles.

Making Memories That Last

This scavenger hunt is not just about finding treasures; it’s about creating lasting memories with your dad. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just a regular day, this adventure is sure to bring smiles and laughter, strengthening the bond you share.

Kids of all ages can get involved in the planning.  Remember, the key to a successful scavenger hunt lies in its personalization. By incorporating elements that are unique to your dad, you create an experience that is not only fun but also deeply meaningful. Get ready to see the joy in your dad’s eyes as he unravels each clue, uncovering the love and thought put into every step of this delightful adventure.
