Shepherds and the Angel Coloring Page

Night in the fields near Bethlehem. An angel appears to the shepherds with wonderful news, and Benny the little lamb stays close to his shepherd, as surprised as everyone else.

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy for all the people: today a Savior has been born to you.”

Luke 2:10–11, simplified

5-minute idea: Play “loud and quiet”: say “Good news!” together as loudly as the angel, then whisper it to a neighbor. Ask: who would you tell first?

A note about our story friends

Mila, Benny, Caramel, and Pip are make-believe animals. The Bible does not mention them; they help young children imagine the events and remember the lesson. The Bible verse on each page is simplified for young listeners, so feel free to use your church’s preferred translation.
