Free Printable Saints Party Games, Saints Scavenger Hunt, Bible Riddle Games

Written for All Saints Day, these free printable games could be used for Advent and birthday parties for Jesus. I've written several variations of an All Saints Scavenger Hunt and Bible Character Riddle Game. Print these clues for your All Saints Party. This can be as easy or as complicated as you'd like. One way is to request adult All Saints party goers to dress as certain saints. Each child is given a list of clues or riddles about the saint. When the child thinks that he can match the clue to the saint, he asks the person representing the saint. If he is correct, the saint signs his scavenger hunt game. This game is best played with 10-15 saints represented. Read on read on

Free Printable Bible Coloring Pages, Catholic Saints, Advent Activities

Many of my happiest childhood memories revolve around Bible stories and Sunday School activities. Crafts were simpler then. Just crayons and coloring, mostly. But how I loved that big box of broken crayons. I love coloring pictures of Bible friends: Adam and Eve, Noah's ark, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and his coat of many colors, Moses, the Exodus, Samuel, Samson and Deliah, Gideon, Joshua, David and Goliath and so many others. And then all the New Testament friends: Zaccheus, St. John, the disciples, the parables, the miracles and of course, our Lord Jesus.

I'm a Catholic convert. Homeschooling my kids, I shared that intimate friendship with Biblical characters. I adopted Catholic saints into the circle of friends. Or should I say the saints adopted me. Teachers and homeschoolers, here are free printable Biblical Christmas coloring pages. They're perfect for VBS, Sunday School, CCD, religious education, preschool and special needs kids. Read on
