Description
The Parable of the Lost Coin is a moving story from Luke 15:8-10 that reminds us how much every single person matters to God. This free worksheet helps children dive into the parable in fun, hands-on ways — through a crossword, a maze, and reading key verses — so they really understand not just what happened, but what it means to repent and be valued.
What’s Inside
-
A crossword puzzle to recall and practise story details (e.g. how many coins the woman had, what she did after losing one).
-
A maze to trace the woman’s path to finding the coin (“Help the woman find the coin”).
-
The full text of Luke 15:8-10, so kids can read the scripture themselves.
-
Clues that reinforce moral lessons: repentance, joy, the value God places on each person.
Why It’s Useful
-
Helps children improve both scripture understanding and reading comprehension.
-
Makes learning engaging — puzzles + challenges = more memorable.
-
Encourages reflection: not just “what happened”, but “why it matters”.
-
Great for Sunday School, Christian homeschool, or classroom settings.
How to Use It (Tips)
-
Read the passage first (Luke 15:8-10) together. Let everyone hear or read it.
-
Go through the clues: Let children try the crossword using memory, then check the text to fill in tricky ones.
-
Do the maze: it’s fun and reinforces the idea of seeking and finding.
-
Discussion time: ask questions like: What does it mean when it says there is rejoicing in heaven? or How do you think the woman felt when she lost the coin?
-
Optional extension: have kids draw or write about someone who feels “lost” and what finding them might look like — helping them imagine God’s heart for everyone.
