More About This Activity

This engaging worksheet invites kids to use their imagination and creativity as they draw the people coming to see Jesus. With a simple starter image of baby Jesus in a manger, the rest of the page is open for kids to fill in the scene. It’s a delightful way to help children visualise the story and get involved in telling it.

What’s Inside

Here’s what the worksheet offers:

• A large drawing space with the title “Draw the people come to see Jesus” where children can illustrate the scene.

• A simple line-art of baby Jesus in a manger, giving a clear focal point.

• Plenty of blank space for kids to add in characters, animals, setting, or details they imagine.

• An open-ended activity that encourages creativity rather than rigid colouring.

Why It’s Useful

• For kids: It gives them the chance to be storytellers – they decide who visits Jesus, what they bring, how they feel, and what the setting looks like.

• For classrooms or homeschool: It works as a quiet creative activity, a Sunday-school extension, or a reflective task after a Bible story.

• Encourages imagination and scriptural connection: Children are not just copying a picture—they’re imagining people coming to Jesus, thinking about why, and how the scene might look.

• Accessible for a wide age-range: Younger kids can draw simple figures, older kids can add richer detail or write labels.

How to Use It

1. Introduce the story — Share the Bible narrative or a brief summary: people travelling to see Jesus, bringing gifts or showing their faith, animals around the manger, etc.

2. Give out the worksheet and coloured pencils/crayons or markers.

3. Invite children to draw:

   • Who comes to see Jesus? (Wise men, shepherds, children, parents, animals…)

   • What are they bringing? (Gifts, songs, their love, animals…)

   • What’s the setting like? (Stable, night sky, star, hay, animals…)

   • How do the people feel? (Joyful, awestruck, peaceful…)

4. Encourage sharing: After drawing, let children show their scenes and describe what they chose and why.

5. Extend the activity:

   • Ask: “What would you say if you were one of the people?”

   • Have them write a short caption or speech bubble.

   • Connect to a memory verse: e.g., children being welcomed by Jesus.

6. Display the work: Create a gallery wall in your classroom or homeschool space to showcase each child’s version of the scene.

This “Draw – The People Come to See Jesus” worksheet is a wonderfully simple but meaningful tool for helping kids engage with the story of Jesus and the visitors to His manger. It invites them into your teaching, encourages artistic expression and faith connection—and best of all, it’s fun for them!
