About the Built Different Ten Commandments Series

Built Different is a five-week Ten Commandments Sunday School curriculum for children’s ministry. Across five weeks, kids walk through the whole story of God’s law — the covenant at Sinai (Exodus 19), all Ten Commandments (Exodus 20), the golden calf (Exodus 32), and Jesus’ wise and foolish builders (Matthew 7) — and discover that God’s commandments are the blueprint for a life built on the Rock.

The full unit ships in two tracks — Kids (ages 6–12) and Preschool (ages 3–5) — with printable lessons, crafts, games, activity sheets, and memory verse posters. See the full series — available November 1 →
