If you’re looking for Bible craft Jesus to do with your 9-11 year olds, try the ideas below. I used these to teach the Sunday school lesson of Jesus as a child and found the students liked acting out the lesson and enjoyed discussing the idea of Jesus as their age.
Bible Craft & Activity: Jesus as a Child
Bible Story:
Have the students read the story of Jesus going into the temple as a child from Luke 2: 41-52. Have them take turns reading until the passage has been read.
Drama:
Have the children act this story out. They can take turns playing the roles of Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the men in the temple.
Discussion:
Talk about how they can teach others about God.
Activity:
Give the students construction paper, scissors, glue, crayons and markers. Have them make pictures of the things that they can do to teach others about God. Let them take their pictures home as reminders to teach people about God.
Activity:
Have the students make bookmarks.
Materials needed:
Construction paper
Markers
Pens
Bibles
Pre-cut the construction paper to the size of a standard bookmark. Have the students make several bookmarks each. On the bookmark have them write their favorite bible verses. They can draw on them also if they want, but they do not have to. Explain that they are going to share these book-marks with others in the church. Talk about how this is one way that they can share God’s love and His message at the same time. When Sunday school is over, take them to the place where the adults gather and have them hand out their bookmarks. As they hand each bookmark to an adult have them tell the adults, “God loves you and He wants me to share His message with you.”
