David and Jonathan Worksheet for Kids (Easy, Medium and Hard)

This David and Jonathan 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 1 Samuel 18–20 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 (his own soul, the robe, the bow, the arrows, "Go in peace"), two "circle the number" questions (David got away twice; three arrows) and "A friend loveth at all times" to trace and copy.
• Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (knit together, the covenant, the girdle, David behaved wisely, Jonathan spake good of David, the field, the arrow beyond the lad, "Go in peace"), plus Proverbs 17:17 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 Proverbs 17:17 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.

Tips

• For the hard level, give each child or pair a King James Bible open to 1 Samuel 18–20.
• Early finishers can try the David and Jonathan word search, crossword or maze.
