Create My Child's PageAbout this coloring page
This page captures the second right before the stone leaves David's sling. David stands on the left — small, no armor, just a shepherd's tunic and a leather pouch at his side. Goliath towers across from him with a heavy helmet, a long spear, and a shield-bearer at his feet. The ground between them is open and stony, and you can see the two armies lined up in the distance on either side. The contrast in size is the whole point of the picture, so kids will naturally spend more time on Goliath's armor — there are plenty of plates and straps to fill in — while David is quicker, which works out well for shorter attention spans.
Suggested Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:45 (NIV) — David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty."
The page is designed as a printable Christian coloring activity that can support a short Bible conversation, a family devotional moment, or a calm classroom activity.

Create a personalized Jesus coloring pageTeaching ideas for parents and teachers
- Before coloring, hold up the page and ask, "Who do you think is going to win, just by looking?" Then ask why. It sets up the whole lesson without you having to explain anything.
- For ages 5–7: focus on the five smooth stones David picked up. Have kids count them and ask why he picked five when he only needed one.
- For Sunday school: this is a good page to talk about courage that doesn't come from feeling brave. David wasn't bigger or stronger — he was just sure of who was with him.
- For family devotion: ask each person to name one "Goliath" in their week — something that feels too big — and pray over it together before coloring.
Print and activity tips
- Color Goliath in dark, heavy tones and David in lighter ones to make the size difference feel even bigger on the page.
- Add five small gray circles near David's feet for the stones — kids love this small detail and remember the number better afterward.
- Once finished, fold the page so only David is visible. Ask, "Does the story still feel scary now?"
Discussion questions
- What's the difference between being brave and not being scared?
- David told Goliath, "The battle is the Lord's." What do you think he meant by that?
- Has there ever been a time you had to do something hard alone, with no one helping you?
- Why do you think the soldiers behind David didn't go fight Goliath themselves?
- If David had missed with the first stone, do you think God would have helped him with the second?
