If you struggle to find short lessons or activities to add to your Youth Group time, think about teaching the kids the Books of the Bible.
Adding 1 or 2 books of the bible each week will help the kids learn them slowly, but surely. Here is a link to some books of the bible coloring pages and other FREE coloring pages for kids.
A couple of ways you can add these to your Youth Group is by printing off one book of the bible coloring sheet for every child. You can adjust the size of the picture to make four per sheet. That way - you can cut them out and the kids can work on a small book of their own.
Not sure what I'm talking about?
Maybe I can explain it better...
Each piece of printer paper will have four small coloring sheets on them. This will be enough for four children to have the same picture. The first one may be Genesis. Let them color it, then take them back up. The next week, hand out Exodus. After they have colored them, have the kids say them aloud adding a new book each week.
After you have finished the Old Testament books, staple them together for a small book of Books of the Bible.
The kids can take them home afterward as a reminder. Keep in mind, there are 66 books of the bible and doing one book per week will take 66 weeks. You may want to do 2 books each week, but it is entirely up to you.
