There are a lot of good resources that are out there on this topic. Three off my shelves include:
Opening the Bible with Children, by Patricia Griggs
Teaching Children Bible Basics by Barbara Bruce
Bible Basics:Lessons for Life by Phyllis Wezeman
Any of these resources will give you activities & lessons that can be used in a variety of workshops. I'm sure there are several other resources out there like these with lots of activities.

80 Questions
The resources Kim posted are good resources! And I consulted them when I designed my Bongo Loves the Bible software some years ago.
UPDATE: "Bongo" software is now available FOR FREE
to the supporting members of Rotation.org. Learn more!
During that process, I also developed 80 questions "about the Bible" in four levels of difficulty that were designed to be "what every 4th-6th grader SHOULD know about the Bible."
That game also has a "How the Bible Came to Be" game in it, designed with older children and young confirmands in mind. Tooting my own horn here, but it's a subject near and dear to my heart.'

P.S.
I've written a four to six week Rotation curriculum "About the Bible" which can include using the Bongo software or not. It's posted here.
