Ten Commandments Lapbook - completed

(Ryan's lapbook folded shut)

We have been working on a Ten Commandments lapbook for quite awhile. 

Before we ever started writing and crafting,  I made a card-stock song using these memory pegs <----click to see).
 
The boys learned the Ten Commandments easily that way.  If I ask them to tell me what commandment six is, they can remember the picture and the song... which helps them remember the commandment. 

After they learned The Commandments, I had them copy the NT verses that reference the OT commandment onto strips.  They copied one verse a day.
 We cut these strips and secured them with a brad (you can see that in the picture.  The strips can be fanned out when the folder is open.) 

We made a large pocket for the middle of the lapbook and it contains the memory pictures.  Jonathan decided he wanted the music for the song to go into that pocket as well as making a separate pocket for his NT verses.  Justin and Ryan stapled theirs to the flap on the right side.  When I took these pictures they were in an extremely silly mood.  You can see it on their faces!

After I took the pictures, they added a heart- shaped printout to their pocket that said:

Jesus when asked about the greatest commandment said:

LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

If you love God with all your heart:

You will place Him above other things.

You will worship Him only.

You will use his name in a reverent way and not say it lightly.

You will reserve a time to worship Him.

If you love others as yourself:

You will love and respect your parents.

You will never intentionally harm another person.

A husband or wife will be true to a spouse.

You will observe the property rights of others and not take anything that does not belong to you.

You will speak the truth about others and not say hurtful things about them.

You will be content with what you have and not be wanting what others have.
