Teaching the Book of Job to Kids has never been easier. Enjoy these engaging Sunday School Lessons and Creative Crafts for the timeless story of Job! These activities will help them understand the themes of faith, perseverance, and trust in God from the Old Testament.

cute book of job crafts for kids

Teaching the Book of Job to kids might seem daunting at first. The story is complex and deals with deep themes of suffering, faith, and perseverance. However, with the right approach, it can be incredibly enriching and relatable for children of all ages. From preschoolers to preteens, kids can learn valuable lessons about trusting God, even during tough times. In this blog post, we’ll explore various Sunday school lesson ideas and incorporate some creative crafts to make learning about Job both fun and memorable.

Introduction to Job

Start with an introduction to Job. Explain that Job was a man who loved God and was very blessed, but he went through a lot of difficult times. Despite his suffering, Job never lost his faith in God. This sets the stage for kids to understand that the Bible story of Job is about more than just his trials—it’s about faith and trust in God and the growth that can take place in times of suffering.

A Short Story About the Life of Job

Job lived in the land of Uz and was known as a righteous and upright man. He had a large family, with seven sons and three daughters, and was very wealthy. Job owned thousands of sheep, camels, and other livestock. He also had many servants who worked for him. Job was truly blessed and always thanked God for his blessings.

One day, Satan came to God and said that Job was only faithful because of his wealth and good fortune. To test Job’s faith, God allowed Satan to take away all of Job’s blessings. In a single day, Job lost his livestock to raiders, his servants were killed, and a great wind destroyed the house where all of Job’s children were gathered, killing them all. It was a very bad day for Job, but he did not blame God.

Next, Satan afflicted Job with painful boils and sores all over his body. Even in his immense suffering, Job remained faithful. His wife told him to “curse God and die,” but Job responded that they should accept both good and trouble from God.

Job had three friends—Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar—who came to comfort him. They believed that Job must have sinned to deserve such suffering and urged him to repent. However, Job maintained his innocence and continued to trust in God. A young man named Elihu also spoke to Job, suggesting that his suffering was meant for his growth.

In the end, God spoke to Job out of a whirlwind, reminding him of His power and wisdom. Job acknowledged God’s greatness and his own limited understanding. Because of Job’s faithfulness, God restored his fortunes, giving him twice as much as he had before. Job lived a long, blessed life, knowing that God is good all the time, even in the midst of suffering.

Scripture Reference: Job 1:1 – 42:17

Discover engaging ways to teach kids The Great Commission with fun Bible crafts and activities. Parents and educators can use hands-on projects like a “Jesus is with Me” flashlight activity, a Great Commission coloring wheel, and mosaic art to help children understand and embrace their role in sharing God’s word.

how to teach the great commission to kids

Teaching the Great Commission to children is a wonderful opportunity to introduce them to the mission that Jesus gave His disciples and, ultimately, to all of us. The Great Commission is a call to action, but it can sometimes feel abstract to young minds. That’s where engaging, hands-on activities come in to help kids grasp this vital message in a way that sticks with them.

In this post, we’ll break down the basics of the Great Commission and offer creative ways for parents, teachers, and educators to teach it to kids through fun and meaningful crafts and activities that will deepen the understanding of the message. Use the ideas in discipleship and outreach, VBS, homeschooling, Sunday school, and more.

What is the Great Commission?

The Great Commission is one of the final instructions Jesus gave to His disciples before ascending into heaven. It’s found in Matthew 28:18-20, where Jesus says:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

This command is often summarized as Jesus’ call to spread the gospel and make disciples. It emphasizes teaching others about God, baptizing them, and showing them how to live as followers of Christ.

Why is the Great Commission Important?

The Great Commission is significant because it is the core mission that Jesus left for His followers. It’s not just a task for adults or missionaries, but for everyone—including kids. Teaching children about the Great Commission helps them understand that they, too, can share the love of Jesus with others, whether it’s through kind words, sharing Bible stories, or simply living out their faith in everyday life.

By instilling this concept early on, kids can grow up with a heart for sharing God’s love with their friends, family, and even people across the world.

What is the Purpose of the Great Commission?

The purpose of the Great Commission is to spread the message of salvation to all people. Jesus commanded His disciples to teach others about God’s love and His plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. It’s not just about spreading information—it’s about transforming lives through the power of the gospel.

When kids learn the Great Commission, they begin to see how they can be a part of God’s plan to reach others. It also gives them a sense of purpose and helps them understand that their faith is something to be shared.

Where is the Great Commission Found?

The Great Commission is most famously found in Matthew 28:18-20.

“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

However, similar calls to spread the gospel are also mentioned in other parts of the New Testament:

  • Mark 16:15: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”
  • Acts 1:8: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

These passages show that the call to share the good news of Jesus is a central theme in the New Testament and an ongoing mission for all believers.

How to Teach the Great Commission to Kids

  5. The message “Jesus is with me” will appear.

The Great Commission Mosaic Art Craft

Let kids get creative while reflecting on the message of the Great Commission by making a mosaic of the Earth (on Etsy too), reminding them that Jesus’ command is to reach the whole world. Print these globes on paper and decide on one of the following crafts. Choose a simple craft for preschool with coloring or a more complex activity using cut-up cardstock or construction paper for older kids.

earth mosaic art the great commission

Coloring Option

For younger kids, provide an Earth outline they can color with green and blue crayons. This is a simple activity that helps improve fine motor skills while reflecting on the message of going into the world.

Tissue Paper Option

For a more tactile experience, have kids glue 1-inch x 1-inch pieces of green and blue tissue paper onto the Earth outline sheet of paper. This creates a fun, textured look while reinforcing the Bible lesson.

Mosaic Option

For older children, provide blue and green cardstock pieces cut into various shapes. They can cut paper themselves and place them in a pile at the center of the table. Let them glue these pieces onto the commission globe, creating a beautiful mosaic. This option helps kids develop patience and creativity while thinking about their role in sharing the gospel with the world.

Final Thoughts on Teaching the Great Commission to Kids

Teaching the Great Commission to kids doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By using fun, hands-on activities like the ones listed above, parents and educators can make this important biblical message both understandable and memorable for children.

Remember, kids are never too young to start learning about their faith and how they can share God’s love with others. With these crafts, you’re not only teaching them about the Great Commission but also empowering them to live it out in their own lives.

Explaining the Trinity to Kids: Fun Crafts + Intentional Ideas

Explaining the Holy Trinity to kids? Teaching kids about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is like unlocking a magical mystery box. The idea of God 3-in-1 can feel puzzling at first, but fear not! Dive into our treasure trove of delightful Sunday School crafts and clever tips to make learning about the Holy Trinity a blast for your little ones. Let’s embark on this faith-filled adventure together!

how to teach kids the holy trinity

The Holy Trinity is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, encompassing the belief in one God existing in three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. While this God is 3-in-1 concept may seem complex, especially for young minds, it holds profound significance in understanding the nature of God and His relationship with his people.

So what is the importance of teaching the Trinity to children? Introducing children to the concept of the Holy Trinity is essential for their spiritual growth and understanding. By laying the foundation of this fundamental belief early on, parents and educators can help children develop a deeper connection to their faith and foster a sense of reverence and awe for the divine. Moreover, grasping the concept of the Trinity can instill values of unity, love, and community, shaping children’s worldviews and guiding them in their journey of faith.

Understanding the Holy Trinity

the holy trinity for kids lessons and crafts

What is the Holy Trinity?

At its core, the Holy Trinity represents the threefold nature of God. It embodies the belief that God exists as three distinct persons, yet is one divine being. These three persons are the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. Each part of the Trinity has its own job in God’s plan, but they stick together forever (inseparable) and have always been around (co-eternal.)

Explanation of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

  • The Father: Often portrayed as the Godhead, the creator of the universe The Father embodies a sense of loving authority and nurturing care for all creation. He’s like the wise overseer of everything, guiding and protecting us with a fatherly touch.
  • The Son (Jesus Christ): Jesus Christ is like the human side of God, coming to earth as a friend to teach humankind important lessons and show us what God’s love really means. His teachings, sacrifice, and resurrection offer us hope and a path to reconciliation with God.
  • The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is often described as the divine presence within believers, guiding, comforting, and empowering them in their faith journey. It is through the Holy Spirit that God interacts with individuals and manifests His power (the power of God) in the world.

Analogy of the Trinity Using Examples Children Can Relate To

Explaining the concept of the Trinity to children can be challenging but using relatable analogies can make it easier to grasp. For instance, just as water can exist in three states—liquid, solid (ice), and gas (vapor)—yet remains H2O, the Trinity comprises three distinct persons while being one God. Similarly, consider the analogy of an apple: it consists of the peel, the flesh, and the core. Though 3 parts of an apple, it is one apple. These simple comparisons help children understand the concept of 3-in-1 with distinct rolls within the Trinity, making it more accessible and relatable to their young minds.

Trinity Sunday

Incorporating a lesson for kids on the Holy Trinity can happen whenever and wherever.  However, in the Christian calendar, Trinity Sunday stands out as a special celebration that falls on the first Sunday after Pentecost. It serves as a time to honor and reflect upon the Holy Trinity – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Churches often mark this occasion with special services, hymns, and prayers that highlight the central role of the Blessed Trinity in Christian theology. Beyond the theological implications, Trinity Sunday also serves as a reminder of the profound relationship between God and mandkind.

Let’s learn more about the Holy Trinity for Kids to be used in homeschooling, Christian education, family devotions, kids’ ministry, or Sunday school classrooms.

Let’s break it down into bite-sized pieces! Use language that’s as clear as a sunny day and visuals that pop like fireworks. Think simple analogies that kids can grasp, like comparing the Trinity to a three-part harmony in a song – each voice has its unique melody, but together they create a beautiful harmony that fills the air with music!

Engage with Stories

What’s better than a good story? Nothing! Dive into biblical tales that bring the Trinity to life. Whether it’s The Good Shepherd and His Sheep (John 10), the Creation of the World (Genesis 1), or the dove descending at The Baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3). These Bible stories are like treasure maps leading straight to understanding of the 3 parts of God. Don’t forget to add your own flair with storytelling tricks – dramatic voices encouraged!

Encourage Questions

Kids are curious creatures, and that’s a good thing! Create a safe space where questions are welcomed with open arms. Dive into those curly questions headfirst, addressing any sneaky misconceptions along the way. Remember, there’s no such thing as a silly question when exploring the mysteries of faith together!

Have Fun with Hands-on Crafts

Extend the lesson plan to kinesthetic learning. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into some hands-on fun! Craft time isn’t just about creating something pretty – it’s a chance to bring the Trinity to life in a tangible way.

Introduce your kids to the miracles of Jesus with these engaging and interactive activities. From walking on water to feeding the 5,000, these fun lessons will teach kids important lessons about faith, compassion, and the power of God.

miracles of Jesus for Kids crafts and lessons

Many children grow up hearing stories about the miracles of Jesus. These stories are often used to teach important lessons about faith, compassion, and forgiveness. Jesus is an important part of Christian tradition and continues to inspire believers of all ages.

One of the most well-known miracles of Jesus is the feeding of the 5000. According to the Bible, Jesus was preaching to a large crowd of people when he realized they were hungry. He took five loaves of bread and two fish and miraculously multiplied them to feed the entire crowd. This story teaches children about the power of faith and the importance of sharing with others.

Another miracle of Jesus that is often popular with children is the healing of the blind man. In this story, Jesus encounters a man who has been blind from birth. He spits on the ground, makes mud with the saliva, and puts it on the man’s eyes. The man then washes his eyes and can see for the first time. This miracle teaches children about the power of Jesus to heal and the importance of having faith in God’s ability to work miracles.

Let’s first take a look at who is Jesus.

Who is Jesus?

Jesus is the central figure of Christianity. He is the son of God and the savior of the world. According to the Bible, Jesus was born in Bethlehem to Mary and Joseph. He grew up in Nazareth and began his public ministry at the age of 30.

Jesus traveled throughout the region, preaching and performing miracles. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and even raised the dead. His teachings were centered on love, forgiveness, and compassion for others.

Jesus’ message was so powerful that he attracted a large following. However, his teachings also made him enemies among the religious leaders of his time. He was ultimately arrested, tried, and sentenced to death by crucifixion.

Despite his death, Jesus’ followers continued to spread his message and teachings. They believed that he had risen from the dead and that his resurrection was a sign of his divinity. This belief became the foundation of the Christian faith.

Today, Jesus is revered by Christians all over the world. His teachings continue to inspire people to live a life of love, kindness, compassion, and the power of God.

The Miracles of Jesus

Nestled within the pages of the New Testament, amid its rich teachings and captivating stories, is a treasure trove of miracles — 37 incredible moments that shine a light on the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Spread across the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, these miracles are like beacons guiding us toward deeper faith and understanding. Whether it’s healing the sick or calming raging storms, each miracle is a reminder of the amazing things that can happen when faith meets the power of the divine.

Jesus showed compassion to those who were sick, hungry, or in need. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and comforted the grieving. We too can be compassionate and help those who are in need.

3. Believe in the impossible

Jesus performed miracles that seemed impossible, like walking on water and calming the storm. We too can believe in the impossible and have hope that anything is possible with God.

4. Share what you have

When Jesus fed the thousands of people with just a few loaves of bread and fish, he showed us the importance of sharing what we have with others. We too can share what we have with those who are in need.

5. Trust in God’s timing

Jesus did not always perform miracles right away. Sometimes he waited for the right time, like when he waited to raise Lazarus from the dead. We too can trust in God’s timing and know that he has a plan for our lives.

By learning from the miracles of Jesus, we can become better people and make a positive difference in the world around us.
