Description
David and Goliath: The Battle Is the LORD’s
A Printable Bible Activity Pack for Kids Ages 7–12
Anchors of Faith Bible Activity Pack Series 1 | Pack 3
Big Challenges. Courageous Faith. A Mighty God!
What can a young shepherd teach us about facing challenges that seem too big to overcome?
Discover the inspiring biblical account of David and Goliath with this beautifully illustrated, 28-page printable Bible activity pack, thoughtfully designed to help children explore Scripture, strengthen their understanding of God’s character, and apply biblical lessons to everyday life.
When Israel’s army trembled before the Philistine champion Goliath, David remembered something important: the LORD who had helped him before was still able to help him again.
Through Bible storytelling, puzzles, creative activities, prayer, and personal reflection, children discover that genuine faith is not about pretending challenges are small. It means remembering God’s faithfulness, trusting His power, preparing wisely, and taking the next faithful step.
Explore the Story of David and Goliath
Based on 1 Samuel 17, this pack guides children through three illustrated story sections.
Part 1: A Frightening Challenge
Discover how Goliath challenged Israel, why the soldiers were afraid, and how David came to the battlefield.
Part 2: David Remembers God’s Help
Learn how David’s experiences protecting his father’s sheep helped him remember God’s faithfulness. Explore his conversation with King Saul and his confidence in the LORD.
Part 3: The Battle Is the LORD’s
Follow David as he refuses Saul’s untested armor, chooses five smooth stones, faces Goliath, and trusts God for the outcome.

More Than a Story About a Giant
David and Goliath is sometimes presented simply as a story about being brave. But the biblical account points to something greater: God’s power, faithfulness, and honor.
This activity pack encourages children to look beyond David’s sling and stones and consider why David placed his confidence in the LORD.
Rather than suggesting that faith removes every difficulty, the activities encourage thoughtful trust, prayer, wise decisions, and appropriate action.
The combination of Scripture, educational puzzles, visual learning, coloring, discussion, and hands-on storytelling creates opportunities for children to understand, remember, and apply the biblical account.
