4 King David bible Story Lessons & Activities for kids
The King David Bible story feels like a classic for kids’ Sunday School. Some of the first Bible stories I remember are about David, so of course I love teaching my Preschool Sunday School class about King David. In this David Bible study unit we look at 4 different names to describe David and discuss the Bible stories to go with each David description.
David the Shepherd
First, we talk about David as the shepherd boy. We have an interactive anchor chart for this unit and most of our Sunday School units that doubles as an exploration station, too! We can add the pictures to the anchor chart each week as we review our unit, and then the kids can practice matching the pictures and talking about our story!
For this David Bible story unit, we also have a paper graphic organizer that they add to each week as well! And there is a mini David craft to go along with each section of the David graphic organizer! I keep these for the entire unit and send it home at the end of the 4 weeks.
David the Warrior
Week 2 is all about David and Goliath.
After our bible lesson, we sorted rocks into smooth or bumpy texture categories. We talked about how David looked for five smooth rocks for his battle. Then, the next week, this became an exploration station.
Then we made our own sling shot on our graphic organizer with a crumbled up paper wad! 🙂
David the Musician
During week 3, we learned about how David played music for King Saul. One of our popular stations is our music station with our play guitar!
I don’t have a toy harp to play, but they still love trying to play music on the toy guitar… Mickey Mouse design and all! 🙂
David the King
The last week we learn that David finally became the king of Israel in God’s perfect time. During the David Bible story unit, they have been building a castle for King David with blocks!
And we made crowns to wear! Love this crazy crew!
I also couldn’t let this David Bible story unit pass by without sharing this photo. This would be Cooper’s cousin…frustrated with his go fish skills! haha!!
