What if one small lie could spoil something good—or break someone’s trust?
This engaging lesson unpacks the 9th Commandment, “You shall not bear false witness,” helping kids understand that truth is more than just avoiding big lies. Through hands-on object lessons, Bible stories, real-life scenarios, and history, children discover how gossip, exaggeration, jokes that mislead, and half-truths can quietly damage trust. Kids explore why lies spread fast, trap us in fear, and take time to undo, while honesty brings freedom, peace, and strong relationships. They are challenged to speak truth, stand up for others, and live with integrity—even when telling the truth feels risky or uncomfortable. By looking at Jesus as the perfect example of courage and honesty, children learn that choosing truth reflects God’s character and helps others see Jesus in them.
