How do live lessons work?
Live lessons are interactive slides and course outlines that are used to teach Treeway Live Classes. Click on the arrows to navigate backward and forwards through the slides.
How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?
Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.
This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.
Can I show videos in live classes?
Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.
Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.
The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.
How do bookmarks work?
Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.
You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.
You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.
You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

Class Summary
Reinforcing the social studies lesson that teaches about the creator of rules: Jehovah. Students should leave the class feeling comfortable with the concept of Jehovah’s commands, what he loves and what he hates and why it’s important to obey him.
Lesson Slide
Main Teaching Points
- Jehovah created rules so that everything in the universe will work well together. His rules keep things in order so that people can be safe and happy. His rules are in the bible.
- People in the world do not follow Jehovah’s rules.
- What happens when people don’t follow Jehovah’s rules. (Consequence.) What happens when we do follow his rules. (Reward. e.g. People trust us if we don’t steal.)
- We make Jehovah happy when we follow his rules. And we make ourselves happy too.
- When you follow a recipe, you are following the rules of how to cook something. The recipe turns out good because you followed the rules.
Discussion Questions
- Why does Jehovah give people rules?
- Why shouldn’t we do the things that Jehovah hates?
- Why should we do the things Jehovah loves?
- What would the world be like if Jehovah didn’t give people rules?
- What would the world be like if all people followed Jehovah’s rules?
- When you follow Jehovah’s rules, does it only make you happy?
In-Class Activities
- Show and Tell:Tell parents in the description to help students prepare for the class by bringing/sharing a family recipe. Call on students to share their family recipes. Talk about what would happen if they didn’t follow the recipes.
- Name the Rule: Encourage parents to ask students how many of Jehovah’s rules they can remember and then discuss those rules and how they protect them.
