Materials:
5 Activity Pictures



Duration:
Approximately 10 minutes

Preparation:
Before class, print out the 5 activity pictures shown above.

What you do during class:
Hold up one picture at a time, briefly describe the picture and ask the children how having rules helps the person in the picture.

For example, hold up the picture of the children jumping on the bed and say these children are jumping on the bed. Their mom and dad have a rule that says no jumping on the bed. Why do you think parents have this rule? Let the children answer and then confirm their answers saying the children could fall off the bed and get hurt or they may break the bed and have to sleep on the floor.

After you go through all the pictures, ask the children what may happen when rules are broken.

Tell the children that God has rules that He wants us to follow. These rules are designed to keep us safe and happy. When we break God's rules, it makes Him sad. When we break God's rules, it's called sin.
