A five-week Ten Commandments Sunday school curriculum for kids. Sunday school lessons that walk through the whole story of God’s law, each pointing to Jesus, the Rock that never fails. Children stand with Israel at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19), learn all Ten Commandments (Exodus 20), watch God rebuild His people after the golden calf (Exodus 32), and hear Jesus’ story of the wise and foolish builders (Matthew 7). God’s commandments are the blueprint for a life built on the Rock. Two editions, written separately: Kids (ages 6 to 12) and Preschool (ages 3 to 5). Both rooms learn the same Bible story each week, each told for its age. Each edition is its own download. Teaching both rooms? The All-Access Pass includes both.
New in the 2027 Edition
Built Different is a brand-new series, built in our upgraded 2027 format:

The 5 weeks
💡 Big Idea: God shows us the best way to live.
📖 Memory Verse: "Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." (Matthew 7:24) BSB
✝️ Gospel Connection: God gave His people the blueprint for a life that lasts, and the whole Bible shows that nobody could build it on their own. Jesus is the only one who followed God's design perfectly. Then He gave His life and rose again to become the foundation for ours. When kids trust in Jesus, they aren't just following rules: they're building on the Rock that never fails.
📜 Bible translation: Scripture in the lessons is from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB).
Both editions teach these five stories. The Preschool edition tells each one more simply.
Week 1: God chose us before He gave us His rules (The Covenant at Sinai, Exodus 19)
- Bible Story: God's Blueprint Day at Sinai (Exodus 19:1–8)
- Takeaway: I obey God because I am already loved, not to make God love me.
Week 2: God comes first (Commandments 1 to 4, Exodus 20)
- Bible Story: The Foundation: Commandments 1–4 (Exodus 20:1–11)
- Takeaway: I build my week with God first: worship, His name, and rest with Him.
Week 3: God's rules protect the people we love (Commandments 5 to 10, Exodus 20)
- Bible Story: The Walls: Commandments 5–10 (Exodus 20:12–17)
- Takeaway: I keep God's rules to protect the people I love.
Week 4: Failure isn't the end of God's project (The Golden Calf, Exodus 32)
- Bible Story: The Golden Calf and the God Who Rebuilds (Exodus 32)
- Takeaway: When I fail, I come back to God: He forgives and rebuilds.
Week 5: Jesus is the foundation that never fails (The Wise and Foolish Builders, Matthew 7)
- Bible Story: The Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24–27)
- Takeaway: I build my life on Jesus by hearing His words and doing them.
