Can you recommend some best bible stories for children?

One popular children's Christmas Bible story is the story of the birth of Jesus. Mary was visited by an angel and told she would give birth to the Son of God. She and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem where Jesus was born in a manger. The shepherds were also visited by angels and came to worship the baby Jesus.

One of the best short Bible stories is the parable of the Good Samaritan. A man was robbed and left for dead on the side of the road. A priest and a Levite passed by without helping, but a Samaritan, who was despised by the Jews, stopped and cared for the man, showing great kindness and mercy.

Another good option is 'My First Read - and - Learn Bible'. It is designed for young children, with simple text and large pictures. It includes many of the well - known Bible stories like Noah's Ark and David and Goliath. The book is aimed at making the stories accessible and interesting for kids starting to explore religious stories.

One important practice is to make sure the children understand the story themselves. They should be able to explain the basic plot and the main message. For example, if it's the story of Noah's Ark, they should know about the flood and God's plan of salvation through the ark.

To tell bible stories to children effectively, start with a question to get their attention, like 'Have you ever wondered how the world was made?' Then, tell the story in short, easy - to - understand chunks. For the story of Adam and Eve, break it down into parts like how they were created, the garden they lived in, and the snake's temptation. Use lots of facial expressions and different voices for different characters to make it more engaging.
