Children's Bible Activities & Teaching Ideas
Pictures of games, crafts, projects and activities we do in Children's Sunday School. Limited instructions in picture captions. There is now a blog where more detailed instructions for many of the pictures will be posted. You can check it out at http://kidfrugal.blogspot.com/
Jack-o-lantern fruit tray made from grapes, cantaloupe piecesand blueberries.
Fruit tray in the shape of a pumpkin with jack-o-lantern face. Eyes and mouth made from blueberries.
Templates used to make a fruit tray into a jack-o-lantern pumpkin. Step 1. I made mine out of cereal boxes.
Place grapes on the outer layer. Next put the eyes and mouth templates in and fill with blueberries.
Close up shot of the pilgrim pins after bowling. Their hats got beat up, but this gives you a better idea of what they look like. I made a template for the shirtfronts and ran them off.
Assembling the pilgrim bowling pins. This could have been thought through a little more, but the picture gives you the idea of how to assemble these pins.
Pilgrim Bowling.We covered paper towel rolls to look like Pilgrims for our Fall Festival

Balloon darts for Fall Festival. Each balloon containded a # and you won the corresponding prize.
Pumpkin Balloon Dart game for Fall Festival
What the apples look like (we soaked them in salt water solution as per Pinterest to keep them from browning.
We used a melon scoop to cut out mini apples for our caramel & chocolate apples.
We covered some apples with just caramel. These lasted several hours before the caramel began to slide off. It stayed on a few, but slid down into the cups on many by the next day.
We covered some apples in chocolate first to keep the caramel from coming off as the juices from the apple flesh seeped into it. It worked.
This was a bulletin board idea. You twisted the paper to make the tree 3D. We were able to repurpose black paper we had used for another project since you twisted it.
Lion "mail box" for Daniel & the Lion's Den. Children write their fears, problems, struggles on paper and put them in the lion's mouth.
Side view of lion "mailbox" for Daniel & the Lion's Den
The "writing on the wall" from Daniel chapter 5
The wall before the writing is revealed. Daniel 5. We acted out the story with gold goblets and pulled the "curtains" back to reveal the writing on the wall after the golden goblets were brought in.
Puppet stage transformed into the lion's den
Daniel and the lion's den.
Feiry Furnace we made by covering a puppet stage.
Flames for the feiry furnace.
Close up of "flames" for feiry furnace
We taped the "flames" to wood strips for support. Could use paint stirrers or dowels.
Golden Image that Nebuchadnezzar made. Used gold foil Christmas wrapping paper.
"Bible Times" room that we made a few years ago. We covered over a bulletin board with a scene setter roll and cardboard frame.
"Bible Times" classroom we made for telling Bible stories in.
This throne room was easy and reasonable to create. We hung several curtain rods at the top of the wall. We used Dolllar Tree plastic tableclothes for the curtain background. Simply fold the tableclothe 4-6 inches and tape it down creating a rod pocket.
Giant bunch of grapes made from balloons for story of the 12 spies. Directions in captions for the other grape photos.
Giant bunch of grapes for the Bible Story of the 12 spies that went into the Promised Land.Directions (continued from cluster picture): As I moved up the dowel, I added more balloons to make it look like a bunch.
Making the grape clusters. I used green floral tape and wire like twist ties. I wrapped one end of the wire around the tied balloon and the other end around a dowel.
These are scratch off cards made to reinforce the Bible story.
Each card has 6 door images on it.
A picture of Jesus is on 1 of the 6 doors. All of the doors are then painted over.
You mix a few drops of Dawn dish detergent into acrylic paint to make the scratch off paint. On Sunday the children will each get a card and scatch off doors until they find the one Jesus went through.
Giant "air blaster" that we made for 2012 summer Sunday School. Instructions are on http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiments/air-cannon-smoke-ring-vortex-launcher .
Giant fish we used for our lesson on Jonah. We used a one man tent and covered it with several black table clothes we had.Can use a pup tent or whatever you can find. Can use a gray sheet too. Eyes were cut from felt, so they stuck by themselves.
Dr. Lime Green from Summer Sunday School 2012
Decal from Hobby Lobby for our owl themed nursery wall.
Rod and pocket valence we made for our owl themed nursery. Material from Hobby Lobby.
Thank you gifts for our children's workers. Each worker got a thank you note with instructions to pick a gift from this tree.
The Valentine's tree. I forgot to take a picture before most of the bags had been removed. It was really pretty.
Valentine gift bags for #kidmin worker appreciation. I will post more on a blog someday and link to this page.
