Introduction: What are sins? Breaking God’s law. What are God’s laws? The Ten Commandments. So what are the Ten Commandments? They are laws from God that we must always keep.
Directions: Players place their marker on START. The players roll the dice and follow the directions on the space they land on. If they land on a “?”, the player to their right draws a card and reads the question out loud (only use the questions that are age appropriate for your students). On each card is a question about sins and the player must tell which commandment the sin broke (they may say the commandment number or the commandment). Younger students can say whether or not it is a sin and why. If they answer correctly, they receive 1 token (milk caps, poker chips, etc.). If they are not correct, they do not receive one. When a player gets to the end of one game board, they keep going on the second game board and continue to FINISH. All players must land on FINISH with the exact number. When the player reaches FINISH they will count their tokens. After all players have made it to FINISH, the player with the most tokens wins.

It's me again - I LOVE YOUR GAMES!! I homeschool two 2nd graders for sacramental prep, and they wrote thier own version of the commandments first while we did the normal, boring CCD stuff. Then I whipped out your game and let them use their "cheat sheets" of commandments to answer the questions, AND THEY LOVED IT!! They were able to answer which commandment it was without even looking by the end of the game! They want me to bring it back so they can play again next week! THANK YOU for making these wonderful teaching tools!!! ~ Kathy
Kathy-
I'm so glad that your students are enjoying the game. If you need anything else, let me know and I will try to help. :)
I have made some sacramental games that your students might like. Just scroll down to GAMES on the right side bar (down at the bottom) and click on the ones you want.
Hi...I am going to try the Ten Commandment game out on my 4th grade RE class on Sunday. Looks great. I will let you know how it goes.
BTW, I love your site. Just found it this morning as I was preparing for my lesson.
Mary Beth- Thank you so much for your kind words. Please let us know how it goes. If you need anything just let me know. :)
I'm confused about how this game works, I also couldn't find the game cards. I did not understand what the question marks stood for on the game board. I wouldn't know how to present this to my class without first knowing how to play myself.
Elizabeth- Click on "Directions" (in blue) that is above to find out how to play the game. Click on "Question Cards" (in blue) for the question cards.
I hope this helps. :)
I am going to try your game with my Danish kids here in Denmark! I of course have to translate it into Danish first, but thank you for your ideas!
Sincerely,

Jennifer Hansen-
How wonderful! I am so glad that you can use it with your students. Please let us know how it goes. :)
This is a great game but your game cards are mixed up. I think you put #1 on the two's and then were one number behind for the rest of the cards. Example: 2's should be 3, 3's should be 4, etc.. But thank you for sharing it. After I fix it, it will be great!!
Pauline- The Catholic version is posted, but you can easily change this to a Protestant version by editing the Game Cards. :)
Thanks for the game! I used it will all grade levels (I did modify some cards for the younger kids) and it was a big hit with all of them. It really got them talking about the commandments and debating the situations so it was a great teaching/learning tool! Thanks!
Amanda Roberts- I am so glad your students enjoyed the game and learned a lot about the Ten Commandments. :)
