| Tough questions leave you to look at ponder closely, these directional images do the same, you need to line them up carefully to read what they say. However tricky they are also very simple as crafts. This passage includes lots of questions, but this craft only covers the commandment one, if you’d like the others then just contact me. |

This worksheet for the Tough Questions lesson is a chance to look at each question a little closer, from emotional reactions, exploring our world equivalents and group discussion it examines the answers Jesus gave. Best completed in small groups, the bulk of the discussion comes at the end!
To complete the worksheet you will just need something to write and draw with – colours are optional!

The Pharisees and Sadducees, two groups we love to paint as the bad guys, but amongst the bad apples were men seeking God, even if they were misguided. These games don’t play them as the bad guys, but rather as questioners, inquisitive about Jesus, even if their motivation wasn’t in the right place.
Riddles – Tough questions naturally link into riddles, if the kids have any of their own get them to share, if not then try this list https://www.kidspot.com.au/things-to-do/activities/10-easy-riddles-for-kids of 10 easy riddles for children.

Too many rules – For this game you’ll probably need a whiteboard or a big sheet of paper to write the rules. tell the children they can help you make the rules for the game. start with these 3 rules. 1. each child must take it in turns to say a nursery rhyme or equivalent. 2. each child must try and follow as many rules as possible. 3. if the child completes the task they may add another rule.(example, first child recites “Hickory dickory dock” then adds the rule you must hold your thumb to your nose, second child recites “Incey Wincey Spider” then adds that you must use a squeaky voice …etc)
| This passage includes lots of questions, but this one is probably the most important of them all – Jesus condensing the books of law into 2 simple commandments. This craft is uses a simple box mechanism to rise the question and then in turn the answer given. Must mention Hattifant’s dinosaur craft that introduced me to this mechanism! |

Essential Teachers notes:
Children are far too familiar with questions, they can be good or bad, they can hold promises or expectations or traps. It’s both encouraging and reassuring therefore to teach this lesson about Jesus being faced with tough questions and to look into his answers. Be sure to follow up with some open questions that may have a right answer and a wrong answer as well as a best answer.
Main Passage : Matthew 22
