Matthew 28:19-20 Worksheets for Kids

Known as the Great Commission, these are some of Jesus' last words on earth — a mission for everyone who follows Him, with the promise that He is always near.

The verse

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
— Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)

Big idea: Jesus wants us to tell others about Him, and He is always with us.

What's inside the pack

1. Memory verse page — the full text of Matthew 28:19-20 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: Remember the mission: Go, tell, teach — and Jesus is with us.
