Wise and Foolish Builders Worksheet (Easy, Medium and Hard)

This Wise and Foolish Builders 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 7 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 rock, the sand, the rain, it fell not, it fell), two "circle the number" questions (two men; rain, floods and winds) and "built his house upon a rock" to trace and copy.
• Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (the rain, the winds, founded upon a rock, the foolish man, the sand, great was the fall, the people astonished, taught with authority), plus Matthew 7:24 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 Matthew 7:24 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 7.
• Early finishers can try the Wise and Foolish Builders word search, crossword or maze.
