Easter gives children a chance to learn why Christians celebrate Jesus’ death and resurrection.
This printable Easter Scripture for kids brings Bible passages together in a format children can read, discuss, display, and revisit throughout Holy Week or the Easter season.
The pages combine verse cards with two learning activities, so the Scripture can support more than one lesson.
Use the set during family devotions, Sunday school, a church class, or a single classroom to help children connect the events of Easter with words from the Bible.

What’s Included in This Easter Scripture Printable?
The first three pages contain 12 cut-apart verse cards.
The selections include Matthew 21:9, Luke 22:19, John 3:16, Romans 5:8, Luke 23:34, John 11:25, Matthew 28:6, Luke 24:6, 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, 1 Corinthians 15:57, Romans 6:4, and Romans 10:9.
Together, the cards trace important ideas in the Easter message. Children encounter Jesus’ welcome into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, God’s love, forgiveness at the cross, the empty tomb, new life, victory through Christ, and the invitation to believe and share the good news.
The fourth page presents “The Easter Story in Order” as six numbered events. Each step pairs a Bible passage with a child-facing summary, providing a framework for retelling the story from Jesus entering Jerusalem through the discovery of the empty tomb.
The fifth page is a “Read, Copy, Draw” activity. Children select one verse card, record its reference, copy the verse, explain what it teaches them about Jesus, and draw an image that helps them remember the passage.
Ways to Use These Easter Bible Verse Cards
For a family devotion, choose one card each day and read it aloud together. Ask children what they notice, explain unfamiliar words, and connect the verse to its place in the Easter story. The numbered cards can also form a visual timeline.
In Sunday school or a church class, place the cards at a reading table, add them to lesson folders, or let children choose one for the read-copy-draw page. Older children can locate each passage in a Bible and read the surrounding verses for context.
The cards can also become bookmarks, notebook pieces, or parts of an Easter display. Print them on cardstock for sturdier handling, or use regular paper when children will glue them into journals, lesson pages, or crafts.
Teaching the Easter Story in Sequence
The story-order page works before or after reading the Gospel accounts.
Children can cover the summaries and explain each event from the references alone, then uncover the text to check their sequence and add details they missed.
For younger children, read the six summaries aloud and invite them to repeat the main idea. For older children, assign one reference to each student or small group and have them report where the passage fits in the story.
Printing and Preparation Tips
Print the PDF at 100% or select Actual Size so the pages retain their layout.
The printable is designed for US Letter paper and uses black text and borders, keeping preparation practical for home, church, or classroom printing.
Cut the verse cards along their borders with scissors or a paper trimmer. Cardstock or lamination can add durability for repeated handling.
Regular paper works well for notebooks, copywork, take-home lessons, and one-time activities.
A Note About the Scripture Text
All quoted verses use the King James Version, identified as KJV on every card. The KJV text is in the public domain in the United States.
Because some wording may be unfamiliar, an adult may wish to define older terms and guide discussion according to the child’s age and the teaching approach of the family, church, or school.
