Bible Story Timeline for Kids

Why A Bible Stories Timeline Is Important for Visual Learning.

The Bible is God’s Word and a storybook telling us who God is, His love and relationship with His people. Our Bible Story Timeline provides and illustrated chronological order to help kids walk through the Bible from Creation to Christ and His church.

A Bible stories timeline can show God interacting with His creation as you read the Bible and visualize the entire story of Jesus. If you want to know more about God, there’s no place better than His Word. Use the Timeline to record:

Bible stories of people, places and events
Books of the Bible
Bible themes along the timeline (love, blood, light, sheep etc)

Bible story books are great tools to guide you through God’s Word, but they do not always paint the entire picture. Studying the Bible chronologically helps to fill in the places, people and events. Our Free Bible story timeline for kids helps them to see how the stories fit together.

Old Testament Bible Timeline

Creation to Christ

Do you and your kids know the order or people or events of the Bible? Stories such as who came first, Moses or Abraham? Joseph or Babel?

Many kiddos learn the “big” Bible stories in Sunday school such as Creation, Adam and Eve, Noah and the flood and Moses from a basket to the burning bush.

But, inside great Bible stories of hope and deliverance are small little stories creating an even bigger detail of Jesus.

Without understanding the timeline of the Bible, those wonderful stories remain just stories to them. Without a visual, It’s hard for kids to see how the Bible stories connect to Jesus or how they apply to our lives and relationship with Jesus today.

A Bible timeline shows you a better understanding or where God was and is today.

The Ultimate Bible Resource Timeline for Kids: A Hands-On Way to Learn God’s Big Story

Teaching kids the Bible can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? How do you help them see the whole story from Creation to Jesus to the Church? And let’s be honest — memorizing the books of the Bible in order or understanding what each book is about can feel daunting or confusing for kids.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. With the right tools, kids can see the Bible come alive in chronological order while having fun and remembering God’s story for themselves. They can see how Jesus is in every book, every person and every event. It all leads to Him.

Why Expand the Timeline into a Huge Resource?

The Bible isn’t just a random collection of stories — it’s one big story of God’s love. A Bible timeline helps kids connect the dots:

Where each person, book, and event fits into history.
How God’s promises build and point to Jesus.
Why the Old and New Testament connect as one story.

When kids see it laid out step by step, they don’t just memorize facts — they understand the story.

Struggles Teaching the Bible to Kids

Overwhelm: “I don’t know how to teach the Bible without jumping all over the place.”
Engagement: “My kids get bored or lost when we try to read straight through.”
Connection: “We memorize verses, but they don’t really see how it all fits together.”
Fun Factor: “How do I make learning the books of the Bible exciting, not just another school subject?”

Walking the Word Bible Timeline Resource

That’s why I created the Bible Timeline & Walking the Word resource — a 1400+ page collection that helps kids (and parents, teachers, and churches!) learn the Bible in order, through fun and creative activities.

Inside, you’ll find:

Chronological Bible Timeline → from Creation to the Early Church.
Books of the Bible Coloring Pages (preschool through primary ages).
Dot Marker Pages & Tracing Sheets for early learners.
Worksheets & Journaling Pages to help kids “Work the Word.”
Sequence Strips, Puzzles, and Match & Glue Pages for hands-on learning.
Teacher/Parent Guides to give you the story highlights, key verses, and easy ways to connect lessons to Jesus.
Walking the Word Themes → creative reminders that kids can carry with them.

Every page is designed to help kids remember the Lord in creative ways.

What's Included

Below you will find all the printables and links. Included are:

Timelines
Maps
Information and overview pages for Books of the Bible, people and events
Activity pages for all ages and preschool pages

Click the Books of the Bible pics below for information on each book and an overview. You will also find a color page that encompasses elements from each book of the Bible.

Under each book of the Bible, you will find links for all the information pages and activities for people and events with each book.

We have collected full circle moments in the Bible (it’s impossible to gather them all), cross referenced words or moments between the Old and New Testaments and made connections to Jesus all along the way. Use these pages to read, dig deeper and connect Jesus in the Word…He is the Word.

We have designed worksheets, graphics, coloring pages, maps to fill out, mazes, crossword puzzles, word searches, fill in the blanks, comic book illustration pages, handwriting and so much more for all ages. Hands on learners need activities to reinforce the concepts in the Bible.

You will also find preschool and primary level printables to engage their scissor cutting skills, crafting, sequence glueing, matching and more fun for littles! Preschoolers can connect the dots, cut or trace dots and walk through the Word with Remy as you read the Bible or Bible stories.

About Forget Him Knot

Hi, we’re Carrie and Nina. We are an aunt and niece team of former homeschool moms to 4 kids. All of our children have grown into productive citizens (shew) who love the Lord and enjoy their careers.

Because all 4 of them had different learning styles and ways of processing information, we had to find creative ways to present their schooling and most importantly ways to help them retain God’s Word. Our Bible Stories Timeline was created to help them learn and know the Bible, but it turned into a guide to help other children and adults too!

It is currently also available in Dutch with other languages coming soon!

Help your children know the Truth about who they are, the world they live in and who God is with a Bible Story Timeline.

Studying the Bible in Chronological order with a timeline helps us to understand History. According to History books, the world began with a bang and man evolved over millions of years from apes.

History began “In the beginning”, Genesis 1. From “that beginning”, most ancient civilizations can be found in the Bible. Which means you can visualize History, Art, Languages, writings, weapons and Science while also studying the Bible.

God’s Word was not put together in reading order of events, or chronological order.

That’s why it is important to study the Bible through Bible stories in their Historical order. This helps kids connect the Bible stories with what God was doing and is doing in their life today.

The Bible and History reflect and complement each other. Studying God’s Word in chronological order helps us to understand how every part of world history reflects where God is and what God is doing.

The Old Testament holds stories that demonstrate God’s power as the Creator and protector of the world.

The New Testament tells of His humanity, as He came down to earth to dwell with us.

Together the Old and New Testaments, show us a God of love, power, mercy, grace and the willingness to die for people who did nothing to deserve His grace and forgiveness.

The saying goes, “All roads lead to Rome.”

The truth is, all Bible stories lead to Jesus.
