The Ten Commandments are God's rules to help guide us and stay out of trouble. Just as you have rules at home, at school, God has rules too.
1. You shall have no other gods before me. Which means we have to out god first. It's important that our kids get to know who is their creator, why it's not about us and who deserves our worship. If God created the heavens and the earth, and everything that's in it, why would we need to look for made up gods?
2. You shall have no Idols. Which means to Worship God alone.
3. Use God's name with respect. You can't use God's name when you're angry.
4. Keep the Sabbath holy. Go to your place of worship and commit this day to God and not regular work and chores.
5. Respect your parents , this involves being obedient to them and keep a good attitude when they ask you to do something.
6. Do not murder; It means not to kill. Even though you're angry at your friend or brother, you're committing murder.
7. Do not commit adultery; Mom and dad are to stay married for the rest of their lives.
8. Do not steal; Not to take anything that belongs to someone else.
9. Do not lie; Not being truthful.
10. Do not Covet; You shall not want what belongs to others.
