Jesus Miracles For Kids

As I have mentioned many times before, I am teaching my young family 8yrs-1yrs these lessons.  Its important to me that they know the stories and can remember a few of them. When we understand the miracles that Jesus performs it strengthens our faith as we call on him for help. I want to impress upon my children the miracles Jesus performed so that they too can ask for help and see miracles in their own lives.

Miracles of Jesus Chart

Below, I have created a reading chart of each of the accounts of just the 8 miracles Jesus performed in this weeks reading. This will be an easy reference as you play the matching card game that goes along with it. Typically, I encourage families and individuals to open up their actual scriptures to study and learn. However, for this game, I have created a reference guide so that it is easy to flip through. This way you can see each of the exact verses where a miracle takes place. Making this game easy and fun for families of young children. This will help you and your kids determine what quotes from the scriptures match the name of the miracle card.

Miracles of Jesus Videos

In the Lds Gospel Library, there is a section of videos specifically sharing the accounts of Jesus Performing MIracles HERE. It might be fun to go through a few of them this week as well. This will help further explore Jesus miracles. I myself am a visual learner and I know several of my children are as well. These videos will bring the words in the scriptures to life.

Jesus Miracles-Matching Game

Now I will share with you this matching game! It is a quick game that can be played in on sitting with little or big kids! Smaller children will need some help but the more involved that your family is the more fun it will be!

How to Play

You will need to print out the scripture reference guide found below as well as the set of cards. Cut out each of the cards and if you’d like you can laminate them so that they will hold up for multiple rounds! This would also be a great game to throw in your church bag for a quiet activity during sacrament!

There are a total of 8 miracles on half of the cards. The other half contains a line or phrase from the scripture pertaining to one of each of the miracles.

Flip all the cards over so they face down put the miracles on one side and the scripture phrases on the other side of the floor. Pick one card from each side. Using your fefrence guide find the matches!
