Looking at this worksheet, I can see it's designed to help students learn about the Ten Commandments through a matching activity. The task involves connecting simplified versions of the commandments (for "Littles") with their more formal versions (for "Big Kids").
Let me work through this step by step:
1. First, I need to understand what's being asked - match each simplified commandment from the "Protestant for Littles" section with its corresponding formal version from the "Protestant for Big Kids" section.
2. Let me compare them one by one:
- "No other gods" matches with "You shall have no other gods before Me."
- "Do not hurt others" matches with "You shall not murder."
- "You shall not take the name of God in vain" matches with "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain."
- "Do not love another" matches with "You shall not commit adultery."
- "No idols" matches with... wait, there isn't an exact match for this in the top section
- "You shall not steal" matches with itself
- "Keep holy the Lord's day" matches with... there isn't an exact match for this in the top section
- "Do not lie about others" matches with... there isn't an exact match for this in the top section
- "Love your mom and dad" matches with... there isn't an exact match for this in the top section
- "Do not want what others have" matches with... there isn't an exact match for this in the top section
3. Actually, looking more carefully, I think the real task is to match the numbered tablets on the left with the text boxes on the right. The tablets show numbers 1-5 on the left tablet and 6-10 on the right tablet.
4. The correct matching would be:
- Tablet 1 ("No other gods") → Top left box 1
- Tablet 2 ("You shall not take the name of God in vain") → Top left box 2
- Tablet 3 ("No idols") → This doesn't have a direct match in the top section
- Tablet 4 ("Keep holy the Lord's day") → This doesn't have a direct match in the top section
- Tablet 5 ("Love your mom and dad") → This doesn't have a direct match in the top section
- Tablet 6 ("Do not hurt others") → Top right box 1
- Tablet 7 ("Do not love another") → Top right box 2
- Tablet 8 ("You shall not steal") → Top right box 3
- Tablet 9 ("Do not lie about others") → This doesn't have a direct match in the top section
- Tablet 10 ("Do not want what others have") → This doesn't have a direct match in the top section
Actually, I realize now that the main educational purpose here is to show how the same commandments can be expressed in different ways for different age groups. The student should match the simplified versions with their more formal counterparts where possible.
Final Answer:
The completed matching shows that some commandments have direct equivalents between the "Littles" and "Big Kids" versions, while others are expressed differently or omitted in certain traditions. For example, "No other gods" (Little) matches "You shall have no other gods before Me" (Big), and "Do not hurt others" (Little) corresponds to "You shall not murder" (Big).
