I have many happy memories of Sunday School. 40 some years ago, we considered ourselves lucky to be able to color in Sunday School. I had a few coloring books, but they were well-used. So new coloring pages were a real treat. With the internet, we have access to lots of free printable coloring pages. I've written articles about free printable Bible, Sunday School and VBS coloring pages. Perhaps you want something more than just coloring pages for your Sunday School. Here are several websites with free printable craft activities for Religious Education, CCD, VBS, Christian School or homeschool. Free printable paper crafts are interactive and educational. Kids get to practice in fine motor skills: cut, assemble, paste, color and fold. These activities are hands-on and lots of fun. Read on Free Printable Bible Craft ActivitiesMonday, 15 October 2012

As for age level, the movie is acceptable for most ages, but the books are graphic. I recommend using "The Hunger Games" books with kids over 12.
