Creative Bible Storytelling
Storytelling is the heart of education for kids. It’s like an express train for their imagination! Use hand puppets, simple costumes, or even a funny wig from your closet to bring Bible stories to life.
Interactive Storytelling Ideas
For the story of David and Goliath, act out being the giant and have your child pretend to defeat you with a soft toy. It’s entertaining, and not just for them!
Encouraging Critical Thinking
Ask questions like, “What would you have done?” to encourage critical thinking. You’ll find both of you rolling with laughter while tying in valuable lessons from the tales.
Encore Performances
By the end, you might even discover your child wants an encore performance!

Joyful DIY Crafts
Want a fun twist on ancient tales? Turn Bible stories into simple crafts. Think Noah’s Ark with paper plates or Jonah’s whale with leftover paper rolls. These crafts aren’t just fun; they strengthen your child’s fine motor skills and creativity.
In our family, there was glitter everywhere for weeks after our last craft session. How much glitter is too much? As the saying goes in our house, there’s never enough!
These hands-on activities reinforce lessons as your little ones create their own piece of Bible history.

Interactive Praise and Worship
Kids love to move, and interactive praise sessions provide them that chance. Take simple worship songs and add actions or even a homemade maraca.
Video demos are easy to follow if you’re stuck, and before you know it, you’ll both be on your feet. Singing in silly voices is optional, but highly recommended. One time, I accidentally summoned our pet cat thinking it was the sound of food being poured!
Besides being an incredible bonding experience, these sessions encourage:
- Emotional expression
- Fine-tuning of motor skills
- Spiritual foundation for your kiddos

Outdoor Nature Hunts
Jesus walked in nature; why shouldn’t we? Plan a Bible-themed treasure hunt outdoors. Hide pictures or toys that represent different Bible figures or stories in your backyard or local park.
The thrill of the hunt is nearly as exciting as opening the last Easter egg! Walking and searching while chatting about Bible adventures builds knowledge organically. Plus, sunshine and fresh air always lighten the mood, for both of you.

Building Kindness and Sharing
It’s never too early to embody Christian ethics like kindness and sharing. By introducing simple activities, we can instill these values in our children and help them understand their importance.
Activities to Encourage Kindness and Sharing
- Create ‘kindness cards’ for family and friends.
- Donate old toys to those in need.
These activities serve as a perfect way to discuss how the Bible teachings translate into daily actions. This not only boosts emotional intelligence but also contributes to making the world a kinder place.
Personally, interpreting a preschooler’s scribbles as a ‘kindness card’ always brings unexpected joy to the recipient!
Encouraging a Playful Atmosphere
Encourage sharing in a playful atmosphere, inspiring children to live their faith actively. Building kindness and sharing should always be fun!
