More About This Activity

Help children remember and reflect on the powerful truth from Gospel of Matthew 5:14: “You are the light of the world”. This printable coloring page is a fun and faith-filled way for kids to engage with a core Scripture, understand what it means to shine for Christ, and express that visually. It’s ideal for Sunday School, homeschool lessons, children’s ministry, or quiet faith-time activities.

What’s inside

On this coloring sheet children will find:

• Large bold lettering of the verse: “YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. Matthew 5:14” — easy to read and colour.

• A globe illustration (representing “the world”) with radiating rays of light — reinforcing the idea of shining outwards.

• Simple outlines (clouds, sun rays, earth shape) for younger children to colour in.

• Enough blank space for creativity — children can choose colours, add shading, or embellish with glitter, stickers or additional drawings.

Why it’s useful

• Promotes Scripture memorisation and awareness: The visual and wording reinforce the verse from Matthew 5:14. Bible Gateway+1

• Encourages reflection and discussion: Children can talk about what it means to be a “light” in the world, how their actions can shine, and how they might help others.

• Supports fine motor skills and creativity: Coloring helps children with focus, fine motor coordination and artistic expression.

• Works well for a variety of ages: Younger learners can simply colour and say the verse; older learners can discuss what “light of the world” means or how to demonstrate it practically.

How to use it

1. Print a copy of the worksheet for each child. Use standard A4 or letter size.

2. Introduce the verse: Read Matthew 5:14 together — “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” Bible Gateway+1

3. Colour time: Let children colour the page. Invite them to choose colours for the earth, rays of light, clouds, background. Encourage adding personal touches (e.g., drawing themselves standing on the “hill” or shining like a light).

4. Discussion / reflection: After colouring, you can ask questions like:

   • What does it mean to be a light for Jesus?

   • How can you shine your light at home, school or with friends?

   • What kind of kind acts or words can show someone you are walking in the light?

5. Display or take home: Have children either display their coloured page in the classroom, hallway or take it home to share with family — reinforcing the message and acting as a reminder.

6. Optional extension:

   • Add glitter or foil to the rays to make them “shine”.

   • Have the children write their name and a promise or mission at the bottom (e.g., “This week I will help someone who is lonely”).

   • Use as part of a lesson on “salt and light” from Matthew 5:13-16.
