The Ten Commandments
This marvelous animation introduces the Ten Commandments in stories that children of today can relate to and understand in their own way. Its central characters are youngsters dealing with the common situations of a child's modern daily life -- at home, in school, or playing with friends.
The family is of central importance in this DVD, because it is within the family circle that children grow and learn best. Quite often children find themselves in situations in which they are challenged to make the right choices, and those right choices must be guided by the Ten Commandments of God. Each Commandment is taught in the form of an easy-to-understand story, and each "Commandment Story" is a separate chapter on the DVD. Every chapter begins with a cheerful monk-teacher, who introduces the story with a friendly reminder that Jesus gave us the single Greatest Commandment of them all -- "Love one another as I have loved you."
Designed for ages 2 through 8.

"If you are teaching your children how the Ten Commandments relate to today, this is the DVD for you. Each Commandment has its own chapter so you can select the Commandments in order or in an order in which you want to teach your children. You can stop after each one and have a discussion or watch it all at once. The friendly Monk-teacher will repeat the friendly reminder Jesus gave us, 'Love one another as I have loved you,' before each of the chapter begins. - Donna Rolfe, Dove Foundation
"...this fun animated program presents each specific commandment with a relevant story placing the moral lesson into contemporary daily life situations featuring young multicultural characters. A solid program at a bargain price—especially for church libraries who may often have tight budgets. Recommended." -Video Librarian
"This is a good vehicle to explain the Old Testament's Ten Commandments to young children... Colorfully animated, the cast of miiddle-grade multicultural characters will appeal to young viewers... As each commandment is addressed, the characters relate it to a current situation. While discussing "do not have another god before me," the characters realize that although video games can be fun, when they become the sole focus of one's life, one does not achieve his full potential... A nice supplement to collections that circulate religious material, this title will help fill a void for those looking for lessons with an easy-to-understand moral." School Library Journal
