Free Printable Books of the Bible Worksheets for Kids
In this post: Download your free books of the Bible worksheets to help your kids learn all about God’s Word! It’s a great way to get kids interested in Bible studies, Bible stories, and building a powerful faith in God!
A couple of years ago, we were driving home from church when my six-year-old shocked me by saying all of the books of the Old Testament in order. I had no idea he even knew them!
He told me that he learned them in Sunday school class. His teacher had put them on cards, and taped them to the wall all around the room.
Each Sunday, they would read the cards (or, more likely, she read them–those Old Testament words are hard!), and they memorized a few. Over time, they memorized the books of the Bible in order.
Teaching kids the books of the Bible can feel a little overwhelming—there are 66 of them, after all! But what if you could make it fun, simple, and even a little adventurous?
That’s exactly why I created the free books of the Bible worksheet bundle for you and your kids. Whether you’re a homeschool mom, Sunday School teacher, or just a parent who wants to plant seeds of faith, these printable worksheets are a joyful way to help kids learn the books of the Bible in a hands-on, interactive way.
And the best part? It’s totally free.

Why Do Kids Need to Know the Books of the Bible?
Knowing the books of the Bible might not seem important. After all, every Bible includes an index, and many of them have tabs.
But we want our kids to learn to love the Word of God. That begins with becoming familiar with the Book, its pages, the writers, topics, and sections–without having to rely on the contents page of a Bible.
These printable Bible activities will help your kids learn more about the Bible and what it means to us. Plus, they’ll hold kids’ attention while they learn.
Free Printable Books of the Bible Worksheet Bundle
This free bundle is a fun way to teach your kids the basics of the Bible. They’ll be able to learn the book names, say them in the correct order, and find them quickly. These Bible printables is a great way to get kids interested in Bible study. The activities can be used for a wide-age group, so it’s great for families, as well as small churches or homeschool groups.
Here’s a peek at what you’ll get when you download the Books of the Bible Worksheets:
Books of the Bible Printable Sheet
This reference sheet is a great tool to learn the order of the books of the Bible. Both the Old and New Testaments are listed for easy reference.
They’ll need to keep it handy for the word search books of the Bible game.
Books of the Bible by Section
Kids will learn how the Bible is divided into sections like the Law, History, Poetry, Major Prophets, Minor Prophets, Gospels, Paul’s letters, and more. This is a handy tool to teach kids more about how the Bible is written, and even to learn more about the writers of the Bible.
Cut-and-Paste Sorting Activity
This is a fun, simple way for kids to practice sorting the books into the right Bible sections. All they need to do is cut out the names of the books, then glue them onto the right section. Putting the books of the Bible in order helps kids understand how the whole Bible fits together.
Books of the Bible Word Searches
Both of my boys love word searches, and they were super excited to test these out! These word search puzzle games are perfect for middle school kids, but older elementary kids can use them, too. This free download includes two word searches—one for the Old Testament and one for the New Testament—to help playfully reinforce learning.
Bible Scavenger Hunt
Once kids learn about the Bible, it’s time to go a little deeper. In this scavenger hunt, kids will dig into their Bibles to find answers like:
- What’s the first book of the Bible?
- Which book is named after a woman?
- What book is full of songs and poems?
Bible Bookmarks (Color & Cut-Out)
Print, color, and cut these bookmarks to help your kids keep their place in God’s Word. They can also use them as a checklist while they read through the Bible. There are three different bookmark options–Old Testament books, New Testament books, and one that has the whole Bible.
Coloring Worksheets
This free printable books of the Bible activity pack is mostly aimed toward elementary-age kids. But if you have younger children, I’ve included a “books of the Bible” fun printable coloring page. It’s a simple page with a list of books in the Bible. They can get creative and color any way they want!
Answer Keys
To make this a little easier for moms and kids, I’ve included an answer key for all of the activities. Some of the questions have several correct answers, so you can refer to the answer key if you have a question.

Hello Janet! I searched my email provider, and don’t see your email address in there. If you put your name and email address in the signup box above, the worksheets will be delivered to your inbox.
In the Books of the Bible printable page 4, there are 4 NT books missing. It’s the page that has the books of the Bible broken down by section. Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, and Galatians are missing.
Thank you so much for letting me know about that mistake! I fixed it on the printable!
