About this Bible story

In Numbers 22, God uses a donkey to speak to Balaam. It’s a surprising and memorable moment that teaches us about listening to God. The verse says, 'Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth.' This story is great for kids to learn about obedience and the unexpected ways God communicates.

Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth.

Numbers 22:28 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

During the coloring activity, ask the kids, 'What do you think Balaam felt when the donkey spoke?' This question helps them connect emotionally with the story. Remember to emphasize the importance of listening to God, like when Balaam didn’t initially understand the message. Have plenty of crayons ready, and consider a follow-up discussion on how God can use anything to reach us.

More about these Bible coloring pages

As my third graders gathered around the table last Wednesday, the excitement was palpable. They couldn't wait to color the Balaam's Donkey coloring page for Sunday school. Each of the six images captures a fun moment from the story, like the donkey stopping in its tracks and Balaam's astonishment. 'Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth' reminds us that God can use anyone or anything to convey His message. The kids especially loved the moment the donkey talks back! I keep these pages in my Sunday school binder, and they never fail to spark lively discussions about God's surprising ways. It's a wonderful way to reinforce the lesson during our craft time. Plus, I find that coloring helps them remember the story better.
