Jacob's Ladder Worksheet for Kids (Easy, Medium and Hard)

This Jacob's Ladder 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 Genesis 28 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 (stones, dreamed, heaven, the angels, oil), two "circle the number" questions (one ladder; the tenth of 10) and "I am with thee, and will keep thee" to trace and copy.
• Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (Haran, the pillows, the ladder, heaven, the angels, this place, the pillar, the oil), plus Genesis 28:15 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 Genesis 28:15 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 Genesis 28.
• Early finishers can try the Jacob's Ladder word search, crossword or maze.
