Books of the Bible Crossword for Kids (Easy, Medium and Hard)

These free Books of the Bible crossword puzzles come in three levels, so every reader in your class can finish one. Every answer comes from the King James Bible (Genesis–Revelation), and each level downloads with or without an answer key.

• Easy (ages 5–7): short answers, simple clues and a word box to pick from.
• Medium (grades K–2): more words and no word box.
• Hard (grades 3–5): kids look up each verse in their Bible to find the answer.

Use them after the The Books of the Bible Bible story page, with the maze and word search.

About the Bible

The Bible is one big story made of 66 books, 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament, written over many years and all pointing to Jesus.

Memory verse: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" (2 Timothy 3:16, KJV). It is printed on every level.
