Joseph Forgives His Brothers Worksheet (Easy, Medium and Hard)

This Joseph Forgives His Brothers 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 45 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 (Joseph wept, "I am Joseph", come near, Benjamin, he kissed them), two "circle the number" questions (two years of famine; five more years) and "God did send me before you" to trace and copy.
• Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (Joseph could not refrain himself, the troubled brothers, "your brother", to save their lives, Goshen, five years of famine, Benjamin, he kissed them), plus Genesis 45:5 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 45:5 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 45.
• Early finishers can try the Joseph Forgives His Brothers word search, crossword or maze.
