Survival in the desert You are travelling in a group of 100 people across the desert, you have been travelling for three months. You have plenty of food and water and shelter. Consider: Would it be important for everyone to get on? What would be some of the problems you might meet? What rules might you need to make? What might it be like with no rules? On each table come up with five rules that everyone on the journey must follow.
• The Hebrews (Abraham’s descendants) were walking through the desert looking for the Promised Land. • There were thousands of people so there had to be rules. • God gave the Hebrews the Ten Commandments, because they were starting to misbehave. • The commandments gave the people a code for living together in peace. • Jewish and Christian people still obey these commandments today. • Most of the worlds laws are based around these commandments.
