What are fun Vacation Bible School activities for kids?
Here are some fun Vacation Bible School (VBS) activities for kids that combine faith, creativity, and energy!
Bible Verse Treasure Hunt
Kids search for hidden Bible verse clues around the room or outside. Each clue leads to the next, allowing them to piece together a full verse.
Faith-Themed Obstacle Course
Create a course with stations like “Leap of Faith” (mini jump), “Armor of God Tunnel,” or “Prayer Pause” (a quick prayer station).

Craft Time: DIY Prayer Jars
Kids decorate jars and fill them with slips of paper listing things for which they want to pray. It encourages daily prayer at home, too!
Storytime Skits
Let the kids act out favorite Bible stories like David and Goliath, Jonah and the Whale, or the Good Samaritan using props and simple costumes.
Bible Bingo
Use characters, places, and verses from the Bible in a fun game of Bingo. Great for quiet time or review.

Worship Dance Party
Play fun, kid-friendly Christian music and let the kids move, dance, and worship freely. Include motions or simple routines.
Jesus Says (Like Simon Says)
Play a variation of Simon Says using commands like “Jesus says pray,” “Jesus says serve,” or “Jesus says love.”
Fruit of the Spirit Relay
Each leg of the race involves an activity that represents a “fruit” (e.g., “kindness” means helping a teammate, “joy” means dancing).
Snack & Scripture
Serve themed snacks (e.g., animal crackers during Noah’s Ark lesson) and tie them to a simple Bible truth or verse.
Water Balloon Scripture Toss
Write Bible verse questions on balloons. Kids toss them and answer before the balloon pops or breaks!
