This Samuel Anoints Saul 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 1 Samuel 9 and 1 Samuel 10 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 (higher, the seer, Samuel, oil, God save the king), two "circle the number" questions (three days; about thirty persons) and "the LORD hath anointed thee" to trace and copy.
Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (Kish, higher than the people, the seer, Samuel's ear, the animals were found, the vial of oil, Saul hid, God save the king), plus 1 Samuel 10:1 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 1 Samuel 10:1 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 1 Samuel 9 and 1 Samuel 10.
Early finishers can try the Samuel Anoints Saul word search, crossword or maze.
