Easter Crossword Puzzles Printable for Bible Study

If you are looking for Easter crossword puzzles printable for your children, this Bible-based packet is an intentional way to slow down and study the Easter story in Scripture. These crossword puzzles walk students through key passages in Matthew and encourage them to read carefully and think deeply about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

While crossword puzzles might seem like “fun work”, they are a wonderful way to reinforce ideas while stimulating thought. These Easter crossword puzzles are different from simple vocabulary puzzles because students must use the Bible passage itself to answer the clues.

Take the time to study and ponder the sacrifice of our Savior as you complete these puzzles!

✝ There are a multitude of Christian Easter worksheets and hands-on printables, so do take a moment to browse around! You will find a worksheet packet for K and 1st Grade, color by code, ABC order practice, and more.

Easter Crossword Puzzles Printable for Older Students

You will notice that this style of crossword puzzle is a bit different, and that is quite intentional. My goal for my own children is to dig deep into God’s Word. Don’t just skim off the top and float along in what you read. Really take the time to analyze, ponder, and think on what you have read.

These crossword puzzles were created in that very spirit – one of being intentional with God’s Word.

What Is Included in This Easter Crossword Packet

The packet contains 5 different crossword puzzles:

• The Triumphal Entry of Jesus – Matthew 21:1-11
• The Passover and The Lord’s Supper – Matthew 26:17-35
• Jesus Prays in Gethsemane and His Arrest – Matthew 26:36-56
• The Crucifixion and Burial of Jesus Christ – Matthew 27:27-61
• The Resurrection of Jesus Christ! – Matthew 28
• An answer key for each puzzle

I did not write these with a particular age group in mind. They are quite versatile and I believe you can use them from 2nd grade on up through high school or even adults! I would suggest students to be fluent readers, however, to prevent frustration.

How to Use These Bible Crossword Puzzles

Your students will definitely need a Bible and a bit of time to complete the puzzles! My suggestion is to read the entire passage first, which is listed at the top of each puzzle page.

Then take some time to go through each clue, which is a traditional puzzle clue, a question, or a fill-in-the-blank statement.

I put the verse reference after each clue since the whole goal of this activity is to read the Scripture itself. You will see each verse reference listed like this: (V._).

As you probably know, the account of Jesus’ life while on earth is duplicated in portions through the Gospels. I chose to use the Book of Matthew for these puzzles, utilizing the English Standard Version.

Certainly you can use any translation to complete these pages, but you might need to tweak the wording of an alternate version just a bit to get the “correct” answer for the puzzle.

In fact, reading the account in different versions is always helpful, in my opinion! It helps the reader to understand the connotation of certain words.
