1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Worksheets for Kids

This famous 'love chapter' shows children exactly what love looks like in action — perfect for lessons on kindness, friendship, and family.

The verse

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
— 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (KJV)

Big idea: Real love is patient, kind, and never gives up.

What's inside the pack

1. Memory verse page — the full text of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 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: Start with the first line: 'Love is patient, love is kind.'
