Galatians 5:22-23 Worksheets for Kids

The fruit of the Spirit is a favorite for kids because each quality can become a picture, a fruit, or an action. It teaches how God's Spirit shapes our character.

The verse

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
— Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)

Big idea: God's Spirit grows good fruit — like love, joy, and kindness — in us.

What's inside the pack

1. Memory verse page — the full text of Galatians 5:22-23 in large print, with ruled lines for copying it out by hand.
2. Word search — a 12×12 grid hiding 10 words taken from the passage itself, running across, down, diagonally, forwards and backwards.
3. Fill in the blanks — the verse with 8 words removed, a word bank to choose from, and a drawing box for the big idea.
4. Teacher's page — what the verse means in kid-friendly language, 3 teaching ideas, a memory tip, and the full answer key.

How to use it

Print the pack single-sided on US Letter or A4 — the layout fits both. For younger children (ages 4–6), use page 1 as a tracing and colouring sheet and skip the word search. For ages 7–10, the word search and fill-in-the-blanks work as a complete 20-minute lesson. Older children can do the whole pack independently while you teach the passage.

Memory tip: Count the nine fruits on your fingers as you name them.
