Teacher Notes & Answer Keys
One guide for all four age groups: the lesson objective, teaching guidance, a verified answer for every sheet above, the meaning of the King James words the sheets use, and preparation and safety notes. Each entry names the sheet it answers.
Before you teach it
Tablets are a visual teaching reminder; Exodus 20 records spoken commands and does not itself describe the later stone tablets. Do not render invented writing as the actual commandments. Use age-appropriate examples of love, honor and truth; explain Oneness positively and avoid frightening consequences or unsafe demands for silence. Pictures are visual reminders; species, clothing, exact shapes and small scene details are reconstructions unless the passage states them. Offer pointing, oral answers or a scribe. Supervise all cutting. Read the cited verses before using the activities.
