THE COMMANDMENTS: Honor Your Parents

Continue the lesson throughout the week: Make a list of “challenges” your kids can do to help you out around the house. Include pictures if you have kids who can’t read.

  • Hang the challenge list somewhere your kids will see it.
  • Explain that their goal for the week is to do as many things on the list as possible, crossing them off as they’re completed.
  • If your kids get through the whole list, celebrate together!
