The Lost Coin: Find & Color Parable Worksheet

Description

The Lost Coin: Find & Color Activity Sheet

Bring the Parable of the Lost Coin (Luke 15:8-10) to life with a fun find-and-color activity that helps kids both see and reflect on the story. This worksheet invites children to search the picture for a lamp, broom, and coin — just like the woman in the story — and then color what they find. It’s a meaningful, hands-on way to engage with scripture and reinforce that God values every person.

What’s Inside

This printable worksheet includes:

• A large illustrated scene of the woman searching her home

• Hidden items to find (lamp, broom, coin) embedded in the illustration

• Blank squares under each icon for children to record their finds

• Ample space for coloring the full picture

Why It’s Useful

• Encourages close observation and attention to detail

• Reinforces memory of story elements from Luke 15:8-10

• Combines Bible learning with a fun coloring task

• Works well for Sunday school, homeschool, or small groups

How to Use It (Step-by-Step)

1. Start by reading or retelling Luke 15:8-10 so children know the story and understand the mission.

2. Introduce the symbols (lamp, broom, coin) and talk briefly about why the woman uses them in her search.

3. Give each child a copy of the worksheet and explain: “Find each of these items somewhere in the picture. When you find it, color it and put a check or color in the square below.”

4. After they finish, gather together and let them share where they found each item. Use it as a jumping point to discuss:

   • Why did she search so carefully?

   • What does the coin represent?

   • How does this show what God does for us?

5. (Optional) Extend the activity by having kids draw their own “lost item” in a blank margin or write a short reflection on what is precious to them.

This simple worksheet is a great tool to tie scripture, discussion, and creative activity together. Use it as part of your next Bible lesson or Sunday school class and watch children’s understanding deepen — and their imaginations engage! Print it out, hand it to your kids (or students), and encourage them to explore the story in a fresh way.
