Here are Bible craft ideas to use to teach the lesson of Daniel in the Lion’s Den and the concept of self truth to your 6-8 year olds. Start the discussion topic of choosing between right and wrong while they are making their Bible bags.
Bible Story:
Tell the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den from Daniel 6: 16-24 and Daniel 6: 26-27. You can tell this story using a children’s bible or just tell it in such a way that this age group can understand it.
Discussion:
Talk about Daniel following what God said and what he believed instead of doing what he knew was bad or wrong.
Art:
Make a Bible bag.
Need: Brown paper gift sacks or plain small tote bags
Paint
Let the children decorate the bags with paint. These bags can be used for the children’s Bibles. Reinforce that the bags are for their Bibles and their Bibles are to help them learn about God and believe in Him.
Art:
Have the children draw pictures of good things to do to worship God, such as sing, pray, love, etc.
Song:
Sing Daniel to the tune of “London Bridge”
Daniel did what was right,
Did what was right,
Did what was right,
Daniel did what was right,
So God saved him.
