Nativity Worksheet for Kids (Easy, Medium and Hard)

This birth of Jesus 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 Luke 2 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 (Bethlehem, the manger, the shepherds' sheep, the angel, the shepherds hurrying), two "circle the number" questions (one angel spoke first; Mary, Joseph and the baby) and "a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord" to trace and copy.
• Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (Bethlehem, the manger, no room in the inn, the shepherds, sore afraid, great joy, glory to God, the shepherds' haste), plus Luke 2:11 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 Luke 2:11 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 Luke 2.
• Everything on the worksheets comes from Luke 2:1–20. The wise men and the star are in Matthew 2, so they are not on these sheets.
• Early finishers can try the birth of Jesus word search.
