More about these Bible coloring pages
As my third graders colored the Jordan River, I could see their faces light up with curiosity. One page shows Jesus standing in the water, surrounded by people, while another captures John the Baptist preparing for the baptism. 'Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan' (Matthew 3:13) is a line that resonates as they color. I often use these pages to connect the story to their lives, emphasizing the importance of baptism and following Jesus' example. It's wonderful to see them engaged and discussing their thoughts while working on these pages. We typically spend about 20 minutes on this, which fits perfectly into our lesson plan. The students love sharing their colorful creations with each other!
