The Bible has some of the most exciting stories ever told and these coloring pages help you tell the stories about the Prophets and heroes of the Old Testament and about Jesus and Mary in the New Testament. These are awesome in a Catholic catechism class.
There are many times in a Catholic school or family when Bible coloring pages are helpful:
1. When learning about Jesus and the Bible.
2. When little ones need work while older children are studying catechism.
3. When you want to make a booklet about the main feasts in the liturgical year or the mysteries of the Rosary.
4. When you want to teach about the different Catholic holy days of obligation.
Choose the images according to the stories that you're teaching and print as many as you need. Print from screen or you can also download them to your computer for future use.
My favorite aspect of using downloads is that everyone who wants a picture can have one and that I can use them again in future years.

1A Old Testament Creation Bible Story Coloring Pages
These next six are beautiful Creation coloring pages based on the Benziger Living My Religion series pictures.
At a glance you can show the children how provident it was that, working in backward order,
- God created man after He created the animals and plants. Man had something to do and to eat;
- He created the animals after He created the plants so the animals had something to eat;
- he created the plants after the waters were divided so that they would have a dry place to root;
- and he created the earth before He separated the waters so that there was some place to put the water.
- All in the creation that God built. (Like all in the house that Jack built.)
God made all of creation from nothing. This is a huge one for little kids. They love it. Older children can become confused, so it may be best to leave things light. The easiest answer is "Somebody had to do it." If you explain the story, they instantly understand that there can't be an infinite series of uncaused causes. We get this story from St. Thomas Aquinas.
The first catechism questions go great with these Bible story coloring pages:
- Who is God? God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth and of all things.
- Who made you? God made me. (Great answer against abortion.)
Find more in the First Communion catechism and use these coloring pages as the children learn the answers:
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created heaven and earth."
Genesis 1:7 "God made a firmament, and divided the waters...."
Genesis 1:12 "And the earth brought forth the green herb...."
Genesis 1:14 "Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven...."
Genesis 1:22 "And he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply...."
Gen. 1:25, 26 "Let us make man according to our image and likeness."
Seventh Day Of Creation
Genesis 2:2 "And he rested on the seventh day."
1B. Old Testament Kings and Prophets Bible Story Coloring Page
It's fun to put the name with the face. My favorite way to do this is with a story from a picture Bible for kids, using it like a photo album. Having Bible coloring pages is a bonus. Enjoy!
2. New Testament Bible Story Coloring Pages
The New Testament has wonderful Bibles stories about Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
- Advent and Christmas time is a great time to start with the story of the Nativity. It's also a great time to teach the Joyful Mysteries.
- Parables are great stories. See them at number 3 below.
- Just before Lent is a great time to teach about Holy Week and the Sorrowful Mysteries. See number 4 below.
- Easter, the Ascension, and Pentecost are great times to teach about the Resurrection and the Glorious Mysteries, number 5.

3. Bible Story Coloring Pages: Parables And Jesus
Of course, Jesus is the star of the Bible. He told wonderful stories called parables to teach people God's law.
4. Bible Story Coloring Pages: Salvation History
Children respond so well to what Jesus did for us when they know the story of how He prayed, was taken away, unjustly judged three times, and finally died for us. These Bible story coloring pages are based on Benziger's 1940s Living My Religion catechism series' pictures.
See more coloring pages and printable booklets on the Passion and Death of Jesus on our Lent activities pages here.
5. Jesus' Resurrection Bible Story Coloring Pages
Jesus' Resurrection tells the Easter Bible story. Children love the victory when Jesus rose from the dead. Forty days later He ascended into Heaven on Ascension Thursday and ten days later the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles and Mary on Pentecost, or Whitsunday.
Cover these stories when you're teaching the Glorious Mysteries and the Holy Days of Obligation.

Of course, the Bible itself is a great way to learn or teach the Bible stories. I love the new version published by Lepanto Press at Our Lady of Victory School as it has the Douay-Rheims text yet the paper, size, binding, pictures, and maps are beautiful! Buy this Douay at Amazon or OLVS.

The stories in the Bible are the most interesting stories because they matter to all of us. Adam and Eve are our first parents, even Noah and his wife are our parents - we're all interested in their stories.
Children enjoy the adventures that go along with the moral lessons and they learn to love God as they see His Plan revealed. They especially love Jesus, Mary, and the Apostles.
