Catholic School Bundles: Catechists, Teachers, and Parents
These Ten Commandments coloring pages can supplement catechism class when you are teaching about the sacrament of Penance.
Sin is disobedience to God's laws. The Commandments are God's main laws. Knowing them helps us to prepare for confession.
Why coloring pages? The pictures might help your children remember Who we sin against, and help them make the associations necessary to remember the Commandments all their lives.
I love the image of Jesus teaching in the Temple with Mary and Joseph watching Him. It's a great reminder of the Fourth Commandment: Honor thy father and thy mother.

A great symbol of the Catholic Ten Commandments is the two stone tablets. Usually the first stone shows three Commandments and the second shows the other seven on the other.
Why?
The first three Commandments are related to God and the other seven are related to His Creation. People first and things last.
You can use a white board to show the Commandments in this division, the three for God on the left and the other seven about people, ideas, and goods on the right.
Simply use Roman Numerals as symbols:
