Older kids tip: Give choice. Offer 3 pages and let students pick.
Then use one question while they color: “What does this teach us about God… and what might it change this week?”



Choose a More Detailed Coloring Page (Ages 9–12)

These links are best when you want pages that feel more “upper primary”—more detail, cleaner line work,
and themes that lead naturally into discussion.



Choose a Memory Verse Coloring Page (Upper Primary)

Older kids do well when the coloring page includes text they can actually reflect on.
Use verse pages as a bridge into discussion or journaling.



Choose a Bible Character Coloring Page (Discussion-Friendly)

Older kids love characters when the lesson connects to real-life choices: courage, honesty, friendship, faith, and forgiveness.
Use these for “Who is this?” or “What would you do?” prompts.



Choose a Seasonal Set (Easter / Christmas)

Seasonal sets are great when you want a ready-made theme week. Choose a season and let older kids self-select pages.



Choose a “Fast Finisher” Option That Still Feels Grown-Up

When older kids finish quickly, you want something that keeps them engaged without feeling childish.
These options pair well with coloring (or replace it when you want variety).



Teacher Notes: Ages 9–12 Lesson Flow (30–45 Minutes)

  1. Choice time (3 min): Offer 3 printables. Students choose one.
  2. Reading (7–10 min): Read the passage and define 3 key words.
  3. Color + discuss (12–15 min): Ask one question while they color:
    “What does this teach us about God?”
  4. Reflection (5–8 min): Add a journaling prompt: “One thing I can do this week is…”
  5. Wrap-up (2 min): Prayer + optional memory verse repetition.
