Go Colour for all ages by YFC review by Becky Lawrence, Youth and Kids worker at St Mark’s MK
Go Colour is a colouring in resource suitable for all ages, coming in the form of an online colouring tool or colouring books available to purchase. You could use these colouring in/doodlling/journalling resources in multiple ways…as a led activity in your kids/youth group or as an activity for a family service, as a gift for kids/youth or families or as a take home resource or as something you recommend to families/youth/kids you work with.
These are a great creative tool to get people of all ages to pray, reflect and use their creativity to connect with God. They can read and reflect on wisdom, truths and Bible verses as they colour them in, and it can be an activity done together with older ones helping younger ones. Once coloured in the sheets can be kept and displayed as a lasting reminder.
As well as the printed resources available to buy there are also around 6 colouring sheets to colour online here … https://yfc.co.uk/colouring/
The resource also exists as printed colouring books/journals of which there are 3 currently on the theme of Prayer and Psalms.
Heres what YFC say about the three different published journals…
“PRAYER is the first in the Go Colour series. Combining a love of prayer, colouring and doodling (praydling?) this fun and accessible journal will enable people of all ages to engage with God. Get ‘praydling’ with Go Colour. £4.99
