This Be Strong and Courageous (Joshua) worksheet comes in three free printable levels, so every class can use it. Easy (ages 4–6): kids circle the right word, circle the number and trace part of the memory verse. Medium (grades K–2): kids fill in eight story facts from a word box. Hard (grades 3–5): kids look up eight answers in Joshua 1 and write the memory verse from memory. Each level downloads by itself or with an answer key page.

How to use it

Teach the story first, then hand out the worksheet as review. Pick the level that fits your kids, or print two levels for a class with mixed ages. For pre-readers, read each sentence and both choices out loud and let them circle.

What's on each level

Easy, ages 4–6: five sentences with two choices to circle (Joshua, the Jordan, God would be with him, day and night, be strong), two "circle the number" questions (two things not to be; three days) and "Be strong and of a good courage" to trace and copy.
Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (Moses, Nun, the Jordan, "nor forsake thee", very courageous, the book of the law, meditate day and night, good success), plus Joshua 1:9 with four missing words.
Hard, grades 3–5: no word box. Kids read the verse given for each of eight questions and write the answer, write Joshua 1:9 with only the first letters given, and answer one "think about it" question.
Answer keys: every level has one, with a Bible reference for each answer.
