About this Bible story

In the Bible, David faced Goliath, a giant who scared everyone. With just a sling and five stones, David trusted God. He said, 'I come against you in the name of the LORD' (1 Samuel 17:45). This story shows us how faith can help us face our fears.

β€œI come against you in the name of the LORD.”

β€” 1 Samuel 17:45 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

During coloring, ask the kids what they think made David brave. Focus on the moment when David chose his stones, connecting it to his faith in God. You could use washable markers and have a follow-up activity where they build a small slingshot with popsicle sticks to reinforce the lesson. This keeps the story interactive and memorable!

More about these Bible coloring pages

While we gathered for storytime, I shared the tale of David and Goliath, focusing on the moment David chose his stones. The kids were so excited to color the pictures of David picking out his five smooth stones. 'I come against you in the name of the LORD' (1 Samuel 17:45) is a powerful phrase that reminds us to trust in God when we face challenges. They couldn't wait to show their colorful creations! As we colored, I noticed my 4-year-old, Lily, was really engaged, asking questions about why David didn't wear armor. It was such a delightful moment to see her connecting with the story. The six images in this free printable coloring page are perfect for bringing the story to life during our circle time. I love seeing their creativity shine as they learn about faith and bravery.
