Ten Commandments Activities for Kids — Word Search, Craft & Coloring Pages
If you’ve ever tried to teach the Ten Commandments to children, you know how tricky it can be to keep them focused and make these important lessons sink in. That’s exactly why I created a collection of Ten Commandments printables — simple, meaningful activities that help kids learn through play, creativity, and hands-on discovery.
Whether you’re a Sunday School teacher, homeschooling parent, or just looking for a faith-based activity at home, these printables make it easy to bring the Ten Commandments to life in a way kids can understand and enjoy.
✨ What’s Included
I’ve created three matching printables that work beautifully together — a word search, a craft, and coloring pages. You can use one or combine all three for a full lesson or week-long learning theme.

🔍 Ten Commandments Word Search
This word search is a fun way for kids to explore key terms from the Ten Commandments while practicing spelling and observation skills. It’s perfect as a warm-up activity before your Bible lesson or as a calm, quiet-time task afterwards.
🕊️ Tip: After completing the puzzle, ask children to pick one of the words they found (like “honor,” “truth,” or “worship”) and talk about what it means in real life. Small discussions like this help deepen understanding without feeling like a test.

✂️ Ten Commandments Cut & Paste Crafting Activity
This hands-on craft lets children build their own Ten Commandments tablets, creating something they can proudly display at home or in class. The printable design makes it easy to cut, glue, and assemble, even for little hands.
💡 Idea: Let kids decorate their tablets with crayons, stickers, or gold pens for a “stone” effect. As they work, talk about each commandment — it’s a beautiful opportunity to link creativity with conversation about God’s guidance.

🎨 Ten Commandments Coloring Pages
These coloring pages are all about slowing down and reflecting. Each page focuses on one of the commandments in simple, child-friendly language with charming illustrations kids can personalize.
🖍️ Use them as:
-
A quiet-time activity during Sunday School
-
A take-home sheet for family reflection
-
A full Ten Commandments coloring booklet when printed together
Encourage kids to say (or write) one way they can live out that commandment as they color — for example, “I can be honest,” or “I can listen to Mum and Dad.”

💭 How to Use These Printables Together
If you’d like to turn this into a complete mini-unit or lesson plan, here’s a simple structure that works beautifully:
Day 1: Introduce the Ten Commandments story and let kids complete the word search.
Day 2: Create the craft together and discuss what each commandment means.
Day 3: Use the coloring pages for reflection and creative time.
Day 4: Review all commandments — let each child share one favorite and why.
This gentle, step-by-step approach helps children remember the commandments and connect them to daily life — not just memorize them.

🕊️ Why Hands-On Bible Learning Works
Kids remember what they experience — not just what they hear. By turning the Ten Commandments into games, crafts, and coloring time, you’re giving them a sensory, emotional, and spiritual connection to God’s Word.
Plus, these activities are low-prep and classroom-friendly — just print and go! Whether you’re teaching a large group or working one-on-one at home, they’re a wonderful way to weave faith into everyday learning moments.
