Joseph Coat of Many Colors Worksheet (Easy, Medium and Hard)

This Joseph and 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 37–50 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 coat, the pit, the LORD was with Joseph, the corn, he spoke kindly), two "circle the number" questions (seventeen years old; seven years of famine) and "God meant it unto good" to trace and copy.
• Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (the coat of many colours, the dream, the pit, twenty pieces of silver, "the LORD was with Joseph", interpretations belong to God, the corn, "I am Joseph your brother"), plus Genesis 50:20 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 50:20 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 37–50.
• Early finishers can try the Joseph and His Brothers word search, crossword or maze.
