15 Free Walls of Jericho Coloring Pages That Turn Waiting Into Courage
Six days of silence. Seven trumpets. One shout. That’s most of the story of Jericho, and it’s almost entirely about waiting.
These 15 hand-drawn Walls of Jericho coloring pages follow Joshua and the Israelites through the whole build, the marching, the quiet, and the moment everything finally gives way.
The story of Joshua and Jericho is powerful for kids to color through: it teaches them that obedience can look like patience, not force, and that the biggest walls in their own lives might come down the same quiet way.
A Note from Louisa (Founder of MyKidColors)
In my first year of pharmacy school, I was sure I was going to fail. I changed how I studied, asked classmates who’d done well what they were doing differently, and kept showing up even when the plan felt slow and a little strange.
This story is part of something bigger…

It didn’t feel like victory while I was in the middle of it. That’s the version of the Jericho story I think about now: the walls didn’t fall because it made sense. They fell because Joshua kept walking.
Conversation Corner: 3 Questions to Ask While Coloring
Turn this activity into a bonding moment. While your child colors, try asking these questions:
- For “The Scarlet Rope” (Page 14): “Rahab trusted a promise from people she’d just met. Has anyone ever kept a promise to you that made you feel safe?”
- For “The Silent Procession” (Page 8): “The Israelites had to stay quiet for a long time before they could shout. What’s something hard for you to wait quietly for?”
- For “The Walls Come Down” (Page 10): “God asked the people to walk in circles instead of fighting. Why do you think He chose that instead of a battle?”
The Collection: 15 Free Walls of Jericho Coloring Pages
We’ve organized these into three sets to help you teach the full account of Joshua and the Walls of Jericho — from the first quiet march to the final celebration.
For Little Hands: The March Begins (Pages 1–5)
Best for toddlers and preschoolers. These pages focus on simple shapes, gentle motion, and the very beginning of the story.
- Page 1: The Silent March — Priests carry the Ark of the Covenant around the walled city, flanked by guards.
- Page 2 & 3: Seven Ram’s Horns + Joshua and His Staff — priests sound their horns before the fortress while Joshua stands nearby with staff in hand, Jericho looming behind him.
- Page 4 & 5: Rahab’s Scarlet Cord + Hiding the Spies — Rahab lowers a cord from her window at night, then hides two Israelite spies among flax stalks while soldiers search below.
The Journey and the Wait (Pages 6–10)
Perfect for elementary kids. These pages visualize the buildup — the promises made, the patience required, and the moment everything changes.
- Page 6: Caleb and Joshua on the Hill — the two leaders overlook a winding river and distant city.
- Page 7 & 8: Rahab Gathers Her Family + The Silent Procession — Rahab welcomes her family to safety while the Israelites march in silence, carrying the Ark toward Jericho.
- Page 9 & 10: The Final Shout + The Walls Come Down — Joshua raises his staff to command the shout, and the massive stone walls crumble as the people cheer below.
The Full Story & Application (Pages 11–15)
Designed for older kids or quiet reflection. These scenes include detailed storytelling elements and modern application.
- Page 11: Leading Rahab to Safety — Israelite soldiers guide Rahab, her children, and her family away from the ruins.
- Page 12 & 13: Bird’s-Eye View of the March + The Encampment at Night — an aerial view shows the concentric paths circling Jericho, paired with a sweeping view of the Israelite tents beneath the stars.
- Page 14 & 15: The Scarlet Rope + Joshua Triumphant — Rahab lowers the rope one more time in detailed line art, closing with Joshua standing victorious before the fallen walls.
Perfect for Sunday School & Homeschool Teachers
Parents and teachers love using these as Bible story worksheets, Sunday school crafts, and classroom coloring sheets. Here are a few groups who’ll get the most out of this set:
- Homeschool Families: The 15-page arc gives you a full week of Bible lessons without repeating a single scene, making it easy to build a mini unit study around courage and obedience.
- Sunday School & Children’s Church Teachers: These pages pair naturally with a “march around the walls” classroom activity, letting kids act out the silence-then-shout structure of the story.
- Faith Formation & VBS Instructors: With Rahab’s story woven throughout, this set opens the door to age-appropriate lessons on courage, hospitality, and second chances — themes that carry well across a week-long VBS program.
- Grandparents & Aunties Leading Story Time: The page-by-page structure makes it simple to read one scene and color one page at a time, no lesson plan required.
Why We Choose Human-Drawn Coloring Pages
There’s a lot happening in this story: a march, patience, trumpets, dust, walls actually falling. That’s exactly the kind of scene where a human illustrator earns their keep.
A human artist can draw the difference between day one of marching, when everyone’s unsure, and day seven, when something is clearly about to happen, without a single word of text.
I wanted my own kids to feel the buildup, not just see a wall falling flat on a page. That kind of pacing across fifteen pages doesn’t come from a prompt. It comes from someone who sat with the story first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I turn these into a “march around the walls” Sunday school activity?
Print Page 12 (the bird’s-eye view) as a visual guide, then have kids walk in a circle around a taped-off “wall” seven times, staying silent until the last lap — then let them shout together, just like in the story.
How do I explain Rahab’s story appropriately to young children?
Focus on her courage and hospitality rather than her background. Frame it simply: Rahab helped two strangers who needed protection, and because she was brave and kind, her whole family was kept safe.
Is there a craft that pairs well with the falling walls scene?
Yes — stack small blocks or sugar cubes into a “wall,” have kids color Page 10 first, then gently knock the blocks down together while retelling the moment the walls fell.
