John the Baptist Worksheet for Kids (Easy, Medium and Hard)

This John the Baptist 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 Matthew 3 and Luke 3 and John 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 (the wilderness, camel's hair, wild honey, Jordan, the Lamb of God), two "circle the number" questions (two coats; two disciples) and "Behold the Lamb of God" to trace and copy.
• Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (the wilderness, "Repent ye", camel's hair, locusts and wild honey, Jordan, out of the water, like a dove, "my beloved Son"), plus John 1:29 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 1:29 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 Matthew 3 and Luke 3 and John 1.
• Early finishers can try the John the Baptist word search, crossword or maze.
