10 Bible Character Riddles for Preschoolers: A Preschool Bible Time Idea

Here is a fun Bible time idea: 10 Bible Character Riddles for Preschoolers

Preschoolers love to play guessing games!  One of the best ways to introduce them to the idea of guessing is by telling them some riddles through this Preschool Bible lesson.

Here are 10 Bible riddles for preschoolers to get you started.  Each one points to a Bible character that many of your little ones might already be familiar with.  However, to be sure your preschoolers will be successful at giving correct answers to the riddles, you may want to go over some of the Bible stories ahead of time that introduce the Bible characters.  You also might want to have some pictures of the people mentioned to show your children after they answer correctly.  This will help solidify the people’s identity in their minds even more.  Enjoy!
