12 Writing Prompts About Jesus

I don’t know about you, but I love to tie faith into learning.

I love to be able to bring God into the curriculum whenever I can.

That’s why, recently, I decided to come up with some writing prompts relating to Jesus.

These writing prompts will hopefully help your children get more involved in the Bible stories. They are meant to encourage your children to visualize important biblical events and inspire them to consider certain aspects of their faith.

I hope that your children enjoy doing them and that they bring them just a little bit closer to Christ.
