More about these Bible coloring pages

While teaching last Sunday, my 8-year-old students couldn’t stop talking about the Plague Blood Nile. I handed them the coloring pages, and they loved the detailed images of Moses and the Nile turning red. One page shows Moses striking the water with his staff, and another captures the shocked expressions of the Egyptians. As they colored, I reminded them of the verse, 'All the water of the Nile was changed into blood' (Exodus 7:20), and we discussed its meaning. I keep these pages in my lesson binder for easy access. For my students, coloring while discussing the plagues makes the lesson memorable. I also noticed that the kids enjoyed sharing their thoughts about how Pharaoh responded to Moses. It’s a wonderful way to reinforce the lesson and keep them engaged.
