K*10*C - Kid's Ten Commandments
Publisher - Charisma Life/Tyndale
www.charismalife.com

Setting - base camp at Mt. Sinai with the people of Israel

Point - learn how the 10 commandments apply to a kid's life today to help kids keep them in their hearts for a lifetime

Lessons -

1. Only one God - Paul & Barnabas' missionary journey	- I will put God first in my life/only God deserves my worship
2. Respect God's name - Mary & Martha and Peter denies Jesus	- I will treat God's holy name with respect/make time to focus on God
3. Respect parents and others - boy Jesus in the temple/Good Samaritan	- I will honor God by obeying my parents/not hurt others
4. Jesus turns the water into wine/Zacchaeus	- God wants husbands & wives to be faithful/I won't take what doesn't belong to me
5. Ananias & Sapphria/parable of the rich man	- I will always tell the truth/be happy with what I have

Strengths -

reproducible resource makes it affordable and a resource that can be used any time of the year
does a good job of explaining the 10 commandments so kids will understand
utilizes New Testament Bible lessons to illustrate the 10 commandments
resource includes 13 additional lessons for Sundays in the summer, Wednesday nights - whenever

Would like to see -

more complete director's guide book to help with planning VBS
information to help churches better understand how to use curriculum in a station rotation format
more creative and active Bible lessons
daily application activities

Overall -

This is a quality resource I would encourage every church to purchase - even if you decide on a different resource for VBS as if you have this resource, you will find a time during the year to use it.
