Download and print these worksheets to use in your early childhood ministry.

From Ministry to Children, “Each letter of the alphabet has their own card with a word(s) that coincide with their sound(s). Some letters have two (or more) sounds. If that is so, like with the vowels, I put two of their sounds. Each sound has a word that is in the Bible that starts with that sound. There are short and long sound with words for each vowel and hard and soft for the letter “g”. I tried to use books of the Bible first, Bible characters next and, then if I couldn’t find any that I wanted to use, I then used another word that had a great meaning from the Bible.”

I thought it would be great to have the kids learn how to write the name of God to go along with this lesson. So I put together this very simple word search.”

Free Printable: “Jesus at the Temple” Booklet

thank you notes for children’s ministry volunteers

Free Printable

Download and print this booklet to teach your early childhood ministry kids the story of Jesus as a young boy at the temple.

From Ministry to Children, “It’s hard for kids (and adults) to think about Jesus as a boy. We like to think of Him in the manger as a baby, as a young toddler with the wise men, in ministry as an adult, and then dying on the cross. We forget that he grew up like we do. He went with His parents to Jerusalem for festivals, visited with friends, and talked with neighbors. In Luke 2:41-52, it talks about when Jesus was 12. Mary and Joseph took Jesus to Jerusalem. Going home, they thought He was with the caravan of people heading back. But then they can’t find Him! Luckily, they were able to find Him talking with the temple teachers. This preschool booklet is a great visual to show your class while reading the story directly from the Bible.”

From Ministry to Children, “I put the Ezekiel 36:26 Bible verse from the lesson onto a heart shape. I put a circle in the middle so that you would know where to cut or hole punch for the sucker. Simply print out the heart template (there are 9 per page) onto card stock paper. You could make it white so the kids can color them or you could print them onto colored paper and skip that step. Just cut out the hearts and have ready for the kids, or have them cut them out depending on your class. You could use a pencil or pen to poke a hole through the center circle or a hole punch could work as well. Then the kids can put a Tootsie Roll Pop through the hole and “voila” you have a Tootsie Roll Pop heart flower for the kids to take home with the Bible verse on it. You could also make a lot of them and the kids could hand them out to others.
