This God Calls Samuel 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 3 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 (sleep, the lamp of God, Samuel ran, "Speak", the LORD was with him), two "circle the number" questions (three times to Eli; "Samuel, Samuel") and "Speak; for thy servant heareth" to trace and copy.
Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (Samuel ministered, Eli could not see, the lamp of God, Samuel ran, he did not yet know the LORD, Eli perceived, the morning, a prophet), plus 1 Samuel 3:10 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 3:10 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 3.
Early finishers can try the God Calls Samuel word search, crossword or maze.
