Play Through the Bible – Nehemiah
Our “Play Through the Bible” activities for Nehemiah were pretty simple. We basically just read the story of Nehemiah in the Children’s Bible, watched a couple movies on YouTube, and then pulled out the kids’ toy tools and blocks and got them busy building a wall like how Nehemiah did.

Here is a simple activity book I created to go with our Nehemiah lesson. Some of the pictures are ones that I gathered from different sites across the web – I have listed the original links below to be sure to give credit to the right sources.

Bible Memory Verse
Here is a printable Bible Memory Verse card for the study of Nehemiah. I designed this card to be 4x6 inches because I like to print the memory verse cards on glossy photo paper, but feel free to use them however you like.
(This Bible memory verse comes from the English Standard Version of the Bible)

Nehemiah Rebuilds the Walls of Jerusalem. The Share Faith Kids website has a set of children’s Bible story resources for the book of Nehemiah, including a video narrative of the story, a picture PowerPoint if you wish to tell the story yourself, and also printable activity sheets for kids. There is a membership fee to access all the resources on their website, however they do allow you to have 4 sets free to “try it out” . . . or, if you don’t mind the logos on the video and aren’t planning to use the activity sheets, you can just watch the videos directly on their website!
