Good Shepherd Worksheet for Kids (Easy, Medium and Hard)

This Good Shepherd 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 John 10 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 (by name, follow, his voice, the good shepherd, the wolf), two "circle the number" questions ("Verily, verily"; one shepherd) and "the good shepherd giveth his life" to trace and copy.
• Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (the door, the porter, called by name, his voice, the stranger, the pasture, the hireling, His life for the sheep), plus John 10:11 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 John 10:11 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 John 10.
• Early finishers can try the Good Shepherd word search, crossword or maze.
