More about these Bible coloring pages
During our Sunday school class, I handed out the twelve tribes coloring page Sunday school and watched my students' eyes light up. 'All these are the twelve tribes of Israel' (Genesis 49:28) resonates with them as they color. Each page features a different tribe, bringing the story to life. My kids particularly enjoyed the illustrations of Judah, the lion, and Joseph, the dreamer. With crayons scattered across the table, we discussed how each tribe played a role in God's plan. We often refer back to these characters during our lessons. I keep a few copies in my classroom binder for extra activities or when we have some quiet time. This free printable is a wonderful resource for reinforcing our Bible stories.
