Preschool Alphabet: Z is for Zacchaeus

Z is for Zacchaeus: Preschool at home ideas and printables!

They had so much fun with the felt! Even the baby was enjoying it! As we talked about Zacchaeus, they were allowed to move the felt pieces around, move the crown, move Zacchaeus up and down the tree, and move Jesus!

This week we talked about Zacchaeus found in Luke 19:1-10. Zacchaeus was a tax collector, he lived in Jericho, he was a short man, and he really wanted to see Jesus! But, there were so many people, and he couldn't see over them to see Jesus!

Zacchaeus ran ahead of all the people and climbed up a Sycamore tree. He knew Jesus would be walking that way and now he could see! When Jesus walked by the tree where Zacchaeus was, Jesus looked up and told Zacchaeus to come down from the tree, because He was going to Zacchaeus' house! Zacchaeus hurried down from the tree so excited to see Jesus! And, Zacchaeus told Jesus that he was going to start living like Jesus wanted him to.

This is one of those printables that can also be used for Bible class. I printed the tree on cardstock, then the house on a tan cardstock. I printed Jesus & Zacchaeus in color onto cardstock, cut them out and glued them on a large craft stick. The girls used finger paint, with brushes since they didn't like to get dirty (yah!). They could tell me about Zacchaeus going up the tree, then Jesus going to his house. This could also be used for a teacher visual. The download had black & white and the color for you to pick what you like. Click here to print it.

We also used this mini booklet for Zacchaeus, and you can print it in color or black & white here:

Here is the Zacchaeus song with movements. I sang this song when I was a kid, and now my granddaughters love it! But, if you don't know it, I added the movements with the song. But, they can be cut off if you don't need them. Click here to print it.

 

There are always other printables in the alphabet packs which includes several pages like Z is for Zebra, etc. and not necessarily from the Bible. There are always retelling cards to print and let them tell you what they learned about the Bible. And, there are always one or two pictures to color of the Bible facts for each letter.
