Printable Bible games are a great tool to have on hand in Sunday School. That’s why we love this series of free printable word search puzzles from Bible Games Central. They have options for several different passages and Bible stories.
1. God Creates the World
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light. God saw that the light was good. God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” There was evening, and there was morning. It was day one…
2. Noah and the Flood
God saw how sinful the earth had become. But Noah was a godly man. So God said to Noah, “Make yourself an ark. I am going to bring a flood that will destroy every living creature.” You and your family will go into the ark. Bring a male and a female of every living thing into the ark. They will be kept alive with you. Take every kind of food that you will need. Noah did everything just as God commanded him….
3. Baby Moses
An Israelite man and a woman from the tribe of Levi got married. She became pregnant and had a son. She saw that her baby was a fine child and hid him for three months. After that, she couldn’t hide him any longer. So she got a basket made out of the stems of tall grass. She coated the basket with tar and placed the child in the basket. Then she put it in the tall grass that grew along the bank of the Nile River. The baby’s sister, Miriam, wasn’t very far away. She wanted to see what would happen to him…
4. Moses Crossing the Red Sea
Pharaoh sent for Moses and said to him, “Get out of here! You and the Israelites, leave my people!” So the Israelites left Egypt. The Pharaoh and his officials soon changed their minds. They said, “What have we done? We’ve lost our slaves and all the work they used to do for us!” So all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen and troops chased the Israelites. As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked back. There were the Egyptians marching after them! The Israelites were terrified. They said to Moses, “Why did you bring us to the desert to die? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die here in the desert!” Moses answered the people, “Don’t be afraid. You will see how the Lord will save you today”…
5. God Provides Manna and Quail
In the desert the whole community told Moses and Aaron they weren’t happy with them. The Israelites said to them, “We wish the Lord had put us to death in Egypt. There we ate all the food we wanted. But you have brought us out into this desert to die of hunger.” The Lord said to Moses, “I have heard the people of Israel talking about how unhappy they are. Tell them, ‘When the sun goes down, you will eat meat. In the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’ ” That evening quail came and covered the camp. In the morning the ground around the camp was covered with dew. When the dew was gone, thin flakes appeared on the desert floor. They looked like frost on the ground. The people of Israel saw the flakes. They asked each other, “What’s that?” They didn’t know what it was…
6. The Fall of Jericho
The gates of Jericho were shut tight and guarded closely because of the Israelites. No one went out. No one came in. Then the Lord said to Joshua, “I have handed Jericho over to you. March around the city once with all your fighting men. In fact, do it for six days. Have seven priests get trumpets made out of rams’ horns. They must carry them in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times. Tell the priests to blow the trumpets as you march. You will hear them blow a long blast on the trumpets. When you do, tell the whole army to give a loud shout. The wall of the city will fall down…
7. David and Goliath
The Philistines gathered their army together for war. Saul and the army of Israel lined up to fight against the Philistines. A champion named Goliath came out of the Philistine camp. He was over nine feet tall. Goliath shouted to the Israelites, “Choose one of your men to fight me. If he’s able to fight and kill me, we’ll become your slaves. But if I win and kill him, you will become our slaves.” Saul and the whole army of Israel were terrified. For 40 days, Goliath came forward every morning and evening…
8. Daniel in the Lions’ Den
Daniel was a good and able man. So the king planned to put him in charge of the whole kingdom. But the other leaders and the royal rulers were unhappy and tried to bring charges against Daniel. But they couldn’t find any fault with his work. Finally these men said, “It is impossible for us to bring charges against Daniel. If we find a reason, it will have to be in connection with the law of his God.” So the leaders and the royal rulers said to the king, “King Darius, you should give an official order that for the next 30 days, anyone who prays to any god except you will be thrown into the lions’ den. And you should write it down so it can’t be changed.” So King Darius put the order in writing…
9. Jesus Calms the Storm
One evening, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown”…
10. Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
The apostles gathered around Jesus and told him all they had done and taught. Many people were coming and going, so they did not even have a chance to eat. Then Jesus said to his apostles, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place. You need to get some rest.” So they went away by themselves in a boat to a quiet place. But many people who saw them leaving recognized them. They ran from all the towns and got there ahead of them. When Jesus came ashore, he saw a large crowd. He felt deep concern for them. They were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things…
11. Parable of the Good Samaritan
One day an authority on the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to receive eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you understand it?” He answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do that, and you will live.” But the man wanted to justify himself. So he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”…
12. Parable of the Prodigal Son
Jesus once told a story, “There was a man who had two sons. The younger son told his father, ‘Give me my share of the family property.’ So the father divided his property between his two sons. “A few days later, the younger son left for a country far away. There he wasted all his money on wild living. Then the country ran low on food and he began to starve. He went to work for a local farmer who sent him to feed the pigs. The son wanted to fill his stomach with the food the pigs were eating. But no one gave him anything…
13. Peter’s Miraculous Escape from Prison
King Herod Agrippa began to persecute some believers in the church. He arrested Peter and imprisoned him, placing him under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. While Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him. The night before Peter’s trial, he was asleep, fastened with two chains between two soldiers. Others stood guard at the prison gate. Suddenly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of the Lord stood before Peter. The angel struck him on the side to awaken him and said, “Quick!
