I love fun with our Bible lessons for kids, especially when we can use Bible themed snacks to reinforce our Bible lesson. Whether I’m working with my own grandkids or on a mission trip or at Kingdom Kids at church, all the kids love food. Let’s take a look at snacks for fun Bible lessons for kids.
I’ve also included ideas if you homeschool. You might use these same Bible story snacks in other homeschool subject areas.
How can you use these Bible themed snack ideas?
Start by using this outline to create your own Bible lessons for kids with any Bible story.
- Choose a Bible story
- Read or tell the story to your kids

Most of my readers are homeschoolers. That’s why I’ve included ways you can use these snacks in school subject areas.
