Crafts, Coloring, Games & Skits (Drama) Ministry Resources
Crafts, coloring, games, and skits (drama) can be good Bible learning activities especially for children's and youth ministry but might also be appropriate for adult ministry. These types of methods are often used in Vacation Bible School, mid-week programs, children's church, Sunday School, Bible clubs, and other Christian Education settings.
