Bible Activities Kids Remember for a Lifetime
When I was in the fourth grade, I read Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell. I am certain I would have remembered the story of a girl stranded on an island, fighting to survive.

Then again, maybe I wouldn’t have. It was, after all, a long time ago and I have read a lot of good books.

What I remember most about Island of the Blue Dolphins is the island my mom and I built after I read the book. I painted the water on my press board base blue, and carefully made each part of the island out of paper mache. We built a little grass hut where Karana lived, and we hung tiny, smelly little dried fish from the eaves. I still have no idea where mom got those fish, but I’m thinking they were some kind of cat snack.

It was the activity of building Karana’s island that really helped me remember the book I read so many years ago.

Bible Activities Kids Will Remember

As parents who love Jesus, we want our kids to remember the Book–the one that was written for them by the King of the Universe.

Our children are concrete thinkers. So, they understand what they can see, touch, and manipulate. They are built for story–but they benefit when we help make the story tangible for them. Bible activities for our kids aren’t just empty time-fillers. We can do fun (and often easy) Bible activities with our kids that will help them remember what they’ve learned for a lifetime.

  • When my kids were young, they loved to reenact Scripture stories with craft stick Bible puppets made from cardstock.
  • We created Egyptian death masks and talked about the traditions of the Egyptians and why their idolatry set them in opposition to the One True God they were called to worship.
  • My boys and I made a poster board representation of the days of Creation and hung it in our school area where we could talk about each day, and about how God created the whole world from nothing.
  • We measured the ark of Noah out in our street and marked its boundaries with sidewalk chalk.
  • The boys also measured and outlined a sperm whale in the street and imagined what it must have been like for Jonah to be swallowed by a sea monster. We talked about how unrepentant he must have been to sit in the stomach of the great fish for three days, being digested, before he repented and called out to God.

Some of these Bible activities took several days, and some were completed in just minutes. One thing is certain–my kids remember the Bible activities we did. Not only were they memorable, Bible activities helped my kids remember the stories we studies, they made Bible history tangible, and they created an atmosphere in which reading and studying the Bible together was exciting.

In my book Help Your Kids Learn and Love the BibleI talk about ways to make learning the Bible fun and profitable for your kids. Not everything you do in your family Bible time needs to be hands-on–but your kids will appreciate it if you incorporate occasional Bible activities in your home. To help you brainstorm, I’ve listed a number of fun Bible activities your children may enjoy–and learn from–below.

Love the Bible for Kids | A resource you'll love!

You want your kids to learn and love the Bible. 

You want to teach the Bible…

As parents, we deeply desire the best for our kids. We look for the right schools, we make them eat right and exercise, and we get them involved in extracurricular activities. We take our job as parents seriously.

But are we also putting our time and energy into
teaching them the Bible? Giving them the life-changing, soul-nourishing words of Scripture is not only doable, it’s an essential part of parenting kids for Jesus. And the good news is, studying God’s Word as a family doesn’t have to be difficult!

2 Timothy 2:15, ESV, says:

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Our job, as parents who love Jesus, is to help our kids become approved workers, unashamed and rightly handling the word of truth.

The good news? Teaching the Bible isn’t hard. Your family can learn the Bible together.

…and you can!
