Ten Commandments Folding Craft Sticks -- - For Mini Jumbo Craft Sticks - 4.5” x .5” or Jumbo Craft Sticks - 6” x 3/4”

2. Have your children color the patterns and then spread tacky glue all over the back of the first pattern.

3. Place seven craft sticks onto the glue so that the sticks line up in a row. Press the pattern down so it lays flat.

4. Spread glue on the second pattern and glue it to back of the craft sticks and first pattern. Make sure you place the second pattern so that both patterns can be read from top to bottom when turning them over from left to right.

5. Let the glue dry completely before cutting the pattern. Use an X-Acto knife or box cutter to cut the lines between the craft sticks. Do not cut the dotted lines and do not cut all the way through to the other side. When you have cut all the line on the front and the back carefully fold the pattern on the dotted lines so that the pattern folds up into one stack.

This booklet comes into different styles - Roman numeral and regular numbers. You can use the Roman numerals with older children who already know their numbers. (I used the Roman numerals with my first graders and they really enjoyed figuring out which numbers represented our numbers.) Cut the Commandments apart and mix them up. Give a set to each child. Have the children put them in order and then glue them in their books.

If your children don't know the Roman numerals, make a chart on the board so that they can match them up with the regular numbers.

Here's a game to go along with a lesson on the Ten Commandments. Prepare sets of Ten Commandment cards using Roman numeral cards for older children and the regular numbers for younger children. Remove one card from the deck and give one deck to each child or group of children. See which group of children can figure out which of the Ten Commandments is missing from their deck and what the commandment is first.
