Theme
The Theme was “KNOW THE RULES: Learning the 10 Commandments” (Exodus 20:2-17)
Virtue of the Day
The Virtue of the Day was prudence. For the next four days, we will be learning about the 4 Cardinal virtues. Today, we had a demonstration using a strainer to help understand what prudence is. Someone who practices prudence makes decisions very carefully and filters the good and bad things that come their way.
Saint of the Day
The Saint of the Day was Saint Anne. We presented each child with a saint card today, so please read the story on the back of the card with your child.
Faith Station
In the faith station, we listened to another Bible verse song. We learned that God gave us rules so we could be happy and get along with one another. The 10 Commandments are our rules. When we follow the 10 Commandments, we are the best athletes for God. It’s when we don’t follow them that our lives don’t seem to go right. We also listened to a Bible Story: Moses and the Ten Commandments.
Bible Verse Video (2 Timothy 2:5)
“An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.” 2 Timothy 2:5
*repeat this scripture to your child a few times to see if they can memorize it or ask them to teach you the song they learned in the faith station.
Music Station
The Cat.Chat songs of the day were “Do What’s Right” and “Patience.” Ask your child to sing and do some of the actions to these songs.
Craft Station
Have your child tell or show you what he/she made in the craft station! We made Ten Commandments Sport Bracelets and did a Saint of the Day Coloring Page.
Snack Station
In the snack station the kids enjoyed Bible Bites.
Games Station
We played lots of fun games such as Coaches, Athletes & Referees and a 10 Commandments Race. Ask your child to share which one was their favorite.

More general questions to ask your child:
Can you tell me one of the 10 Commandments?
Which is your favorite station: Games, Snack, Craft, Music or Faith Station? And why?
The Cat.Chat Challenge today is:
Challenge your child (& other family members) to set up a little prayer spot in their room and to pray there tonight for a few minutes. Your child can place a Bible and a picture of Jesus in their special spot.
Your child is encouraged to come back the next day to tell the faith leader if they had a prayer time.
Tomorrow’s theme is:
