Parable Puzzlers: Word Puzzles from Jesus’ Parables

Puzzles are a great way to stretch a child's mind. The wide variety of 26 puzzles offered in this resource will help you motivate students to think creatively, expand logical thinking skills, reinforce math and reading skills, and most important, build on Bible literacy.

Developed for students in grades four through six, these reproducible puzzles can supplement any religion curriculum and give students additional exposure to God's Word after their other work is completed.

Each activity includes a brief Bible connection to one of Jesus' parables, directions, a code puzzle, a drawing activity, and a short writing activity. Each puzzle solution is a Bible verse, building, and reinforcing language and problem-solving skills.

Use Bible Puzzlers in day school, Sunday school, or homeschool classes, after-school care, day, and even at home. Adult Bible classes might find the puzzles an interesting change of pace in their lessons as well.  

Parables included are:

• The Wise and Fool Builders
• The Mustard Seed
• The Lost Coin
• Unmerciful Servant
• The Good Samaritan
• The Pearl of Great Price
• Workers in the Vineyard
