About this Bible story

In this story, Jonah was called to preach to Nineveh, a city known for its wickedness. Instead, he tried to run away and ended up inside a big fish! Jonah prayed for help and eventually followed God's command. As Jonah 2:1 says, 'From inside the fish Jonah prayed.'

β€œFrom inside the fish Jonah prayed.”

β€” Jonah 2:1 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

Ask the kids, 'Why do you think Jonah ran away from God's command?' as they color. Highlight the moment when Jonah decides to follow God after praying in the fish. Set aside about 30 minutes for this activity, and consider following up with a storytelling session about Jonah's adventure.
