Review: Last week we studied the baptism of Jesus. Jesus went to
the Jordan River. He found John and wanted John to baptize
Him. Jesus had never sinned, but He needed to show by example what God wants us
to do. They went in the Jordan River and John baptized Jesus all the way
under!
Scripture is Matthew 4:1-11 Mark 1:12-13 Luke 4:1-13. After Jesus was baptized, He was led by the Spirit into the
wilderness. It’s the desert. He will be tempted by Satan. Jesus fasted
for 40 days and nights. That means He didn’t eat … anything. Think about that!
After that time, (40 days) He
was hungry. Satan came to tempt Jesus. Discuss how He must feel,
tired, hot, miserable, etc.
#1 Satan said “If you are the Son of God, command these stones
to become bread Jesus told him that bread isn't the only thing that you need to live on, you need the Words of God also.
#2 Satan took Jesus up into the Holy City and put Him at the top
of the temple. He said “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down and let
the angels save you” Jesus answered this time saying Again, do not tempt the Lord. (The Holy City is the highest point of
the temple in Jerusalem)
Remember that
Jesus said NO to temptation. He was weak, tired and hungry and could have given
in, but He didn’t. God expects us not to sin and that means staying out of
trouble and doing what our parents tell us to do.
As I told the Bible lesson, I had the kids fill in their chart. I had everything cut, they just glued the parts on as we talked.
Teacher's Answers (I printed this
and used as my visual for the kids to work on their chart.) You can print it here.
The student's worksheet has the printables to cut and glue in the correct order, and I told them to write NO very big in the last columns. You can print it here.
1) stones to
bread
2) jump from
temple, have angels save Him
3) showed
kingdoms from high mountain, will give to Him if He worships Satan

There are 3 printables for Jesus being tempted. You can print them here:
You can see all the Life of Jesus lapbook printables here.
This is the lapbook worksheet for today. The kids cut out Jesus and glue Him to this page. There is also an extra page with 4 of Jesus for teachers so you do not waste paper. You can print it here.

Thank you! I appreciate you leaving the nice comment! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThanks for this, I've got to take an extra class tomorrow and this will be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting! I appreciate it and I am glad you can use the printables!
DeleteJust found your page and loving it. Thank you for taking the time to share as this story isn't easy to find activities for 5-6 year olds
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you stopped by. I appreciate the comment!
DeleteGame to play after lesson: kids form circle, give first kid a few word sentence, & tell him to whisper it quietly to next kid, next kid whispers to next kid, etc. At end have last kid say what heard. Next have another kid start game. Object: If don't hear or learn God's word correctly can get wrong message. Should read Bible & get answers from people who love God.
DeleteThat's a great game! Thanks for the idea, I love adding other good ideas for others! I appreciate you stopping by!
DeleteI found you tonight looking for Jesus Temptation lesson ideas. Love it, I am now a Pinterest follower and have your blog in my favs. Question: I do not quite understand what to do with the lapbook ideas or what a lapbook is exactly? I am wondering specifically what to do with the three printables for the temptations - the one you fold like a matchbook, what did Jesus answer, one is who tempted Jesus and the other is how long did Jesus fast. Help?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by! I will have a lapbook post here Feb. 13, if you'd like to stop back. But, if you print all the lapbook parts of the lessons that you want to use, then cut them out, fold them as directed, and glue them to a file folder, add a cover, then that is a lapbook. There is usually a question on the outside, then you can write the answer on the inside. I added the link for all the lapbook printables for Jesus above, under the links you mentioned. If you look at Life of Paul lapbook, there are better pictures and more ideas: http://kidsbibledebjackson.com/2012/10/life-of-paul-lapbook.html
DeleteAnd, thanks for following!
Please use this link for the Life of Paul Lapbook, the above will not work:

Thank-you from a fledling Messy church, Parish of Blandford in Nova Scotia. On a busy night we may have 15 kids. Finding activities for children who "never went to church before" is a challenge. You, Jesus being tempted, is a perfect match. Thank-you for this activity
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! Glad you found something you can use! I appreciate you stopping by!
DeleteJust what I've been searching for, thank you. I am sure the children will enjoy completing the temptation quiz and worksheet.

ReplyDeletetQ....MY DEAR....SO HELPFUL FOR ME TO TEACH RELIGION. GBU ALWAYS.
ReplyDeleteVery helpful for my lesson planning. I liked the visual you had for Jesus' temptations and then the same format that the kids can complete to help solidify the lesson. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating this. Although I had a curriculum, the craft didn't make sense and this was perfect for the age group i have
ReplyDeleteThank you for your hard work, this is just what I was looking for!

ReplyDeleteokie but I loved it
ReplyDeleteThank you for this information!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMesquite Worship Center, Mesquite NV used this to teach today. It severed as an introduction to temptation and Matthew 4. The children were excited and took the puzzles home to play with and completed the coloring pages. It was a blessing for our church family to have this lesson provided for free. We are grateful for this site and all who dedicated time in preparing the lesson and art work. Thank you!
