Christian
Preschool Bible Games

Play, pretend, movement, and repetition are all good ingredients for preschool Bible games.

As you know well, preschoolers need to move and their attention span is short. The more their body is involved in the learning process the better it is for teachers and learners!

Games are an excellent way to reinforce a concept or Bible story that has been taught. Here are a few preschool Bible games that can keep your little ones moving and learning!

Puzzles

Puzzles are an old stand-by, but still a favorite! These days Christian bookstores like Banner Books Parable Bookstore supply a nice variety of puzzles with Biblical themes or Bible stories. Here are just a few you can purchase:

There are also some great free printable puzzles that you can copy and laminate yourself at Christian Preschool Printables. These can fit with almost any Bible theme.

Another good place to find Bible-themed puzzles is at garage sales. Who can beat those prices!

Having puzzles out on the floor as an option to choose for activity time or as a structured game time itself works well. Be sure to talk about the picture that the puzzle makes and how it relates to what was learned that day. This conversation solidifies concepts that were taught in a fun way and gives children time to think and respond to what they’ve learned.

Action Games

Action games that mimic kid’s favorites like “Simon Says”, “Mother May I” or “Follow the Leader” can all be transformed into preschool Bible games. For example, after teaching about Noah’s Ark you can play “Noah Says”…jump like the kangaroos, fly like the birds and so on.

Or, when learning about Jesus calling his Disciples, you could play “Jesus May I” ….follow you with baby steps, giant steps, or whatever you make up.

Follow the leader is fun to play with the kids being sheep that follow the Shepherd through the mountains. One sheep gets lost and the shepherd has to go find it! Once you get thinking, I’m sure other games will come to mind that you can incorporate into your lessons.


If you are teaching in a home setting and have access to a computer there are some virtual online preschool Bible games that kids can have fun with.

At this Sheep Game site, there is a fun sheep herding game that would go well with learning Palm 23 or the parable of the Lost Sheep.

At A Kids Heart, there are several online games to play that focus on color. As you talk about how God create color in our world you can also help your child recognize their colors with these sorting and coloring games.

Preschool Bible games are not only exciting for kids to do while they learn about God’s Word but also create little “mind hooks” for little ones to hang their new ideas on. If you are teaching these games at school or church, a note to parents explaining the games is helpful so they can try them at home.
