How the Crossword Puzzles Work
After reading the Bible verses that are included at the top of each puzzle, start to fill in the missing blanks and answer the questions in the puzzle clues. I created each of these puzzles using the Book of Matthew in the English Standard Version. Certainly you can use any version of the Bible, but you might have to tweak the words a bit to get the “correct” answer according to the puzzle.
Each puzzle includes a variety of questions regarding the Scripture and fill-in-the-blank style answers.
I intentionally did not include a word bank, as to encourage looking up each of the Scripture references that are provided with each clue. You will see the verse denoted as (V. _) to indicate the reference.
Use these with a variety of ages, from 2nd grade through high school or even adult!
Nothing is more worthy of studying than the life of our Savior, Jesus Christ! Use this Christian Easter worksheet packet to take a deep dive into Jesus’ last week on earth, and His death, burial, and resurrection.
