The Ten Commandments From Martin Luther's Small Catechism:: Word Search and Activity Book (Lutheran Confirmation and Education Resources)

Can you quote the Ten Commandments by heart? How about your friends? Your children? Why would you even WANT TO?

Here's an interesting fact: according to some people you can literally tell if people know their catechism (including the Ten Commandments of course) by the WAY THEY CARRY THEMSELVES? Had you ever heard that? Some swear that's true and, frankly I wouldn't be surprised.

When Martin Luther wanted his to answer the question "What does God require of us?" He could think of no better answer than "The Ten Commandments"! For Luther they proclaimed the inviolable way of God and our total need for God's grace because none of us can obey them perfectly. That's a pretty good formula for carrying oneself well isn't it? You know the right thing to do, you seek to do it, and then you humbly seek God's grace for the times you can't do it! This type of approach keeps you focused yet humble. Of course we all know how RARE that is! So I started wondering why that might be, even in the church?

In my pastoral ministry I've found that while many people can remember the Lord's Prayer (if only because they learned it when playing football in school - no joke), and some can remember the Apostle's Creed, getting the Ten Commandments right and in order. And if you can't REMEMBER THEM... you're not going to MEDITATE ON THEM or USE THEM TO GUIDE YOUR PRAYER or USE THEM TO PROMPT CONFESSION, let alone consciously LIVE BY THEM!

The question of course is what can be done about that? That's when I decided to try to MAKE MEDIDTATION ON THE TEN COMMADMENTS FUN.... simple little GAMES that help adults or kids jump start their ability to master the Ten Commandments in Luther's Small Catechism.

I've found that if learning (especially for adults) isn't FUN, it's probably not going to happen unless some merciless task master is standing over people. But when that happens, they won't come back a second time!

• These games and activities let you engage the ten commandments in a way that that's interesting. It's not like a boring classroom. It's like an adventure... something fun to master!
• Kids (and adults) need a break from the lecture. This kind of break lets them review, learn the material from different perspectives, and keep immersing themselves in the study of the ten commandments while making it a "game".
• Listen our goal is to have students take the ten commandmetns with them ... to inspire their prayers, to equip them in times of struggle, to be the kind of biblical summary that the Holy Spirit uses in their lives to live faithfully in the world around them. If we believe the commandments as part of catechism give our students an advantage over people who never learn them, we owe it to ourselves and our students to do everything possible to help them make it their own!
