Luke 2:52 Worksheets for Kids

This verse shows that even Jesus grew up step by step — in mind, in body, in relationship with God, and in relationships with people. It's a great model for whole-person growth.

The verse

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
— Luke 2:52 (KJV)

Big idea: Like Jesus, I can grow in wisdom, body, faith, and friendships.

What's inside the pack

1. Memory verse page — the full text of Luke 2:52 in large print, with ruled lines for copying it out by hand.
2. Word search — a 12×12 grid hiding 5 words taken from the passage itself, running across, down, diagonally, forwards and backwards.
3. Fill in the blanks — the verse with 5 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: Four growth areas: wisdom, stature, favor with God, favor with people.
