Free Matthew 28:6 Colouring Page for Kids – “He Is Risen!”

This printable colouring worksheet features the Bible verse from Matthew 28:6 — “He is not here; He has risen!” It’s a joyful and creative resource for children to engage with the Easter story through colouring and reflection. Whether used in Sunday School, a homeschool setting or as a fun at­home craft, this worksheet helps kids visualise and connect with one of the most important passages in the Christian faith.

What’s Inside

Here’s what children will find in the worksheet:

• A bold heading: He is not here; he has risen! (Matthew 28:6)

• A visual of the empty tomb with the stone rolled away, symbolising the resurrection.

• Simple outlines and large shapes suitable for colouring by younger children.

• A clean design that leaves room for creativity (colours, patterns, textures).

• A verse reference clearly shown to encourage memory and reflection.

Why It’s Useful

• Memorisation & Reflection: By colouring the verse and the scene, kids can internalise the message “He has risen” in a memorable way.

• Visual Learning: Some children learn best through images — the empty tomb is a strong symbol of hope and new life.

• Faith & Fun Combined: It offers a meaningful activity that’s also fun — kids get to be creative while exploring Christian truth.

• Flexible Use: Works for individual use, group Sunday School, quiet time at home or as part of an Easter activity.

• Age-Adaptable: Because the design is fairly simple, younger children can complete it easily; you could also extend it for older kids by adding discussion, journalling or further colouring challenges.

How to Use It

Here’s a step-by-step guide for making the most of this worksheet:

1. Print the worksheet on good quality paper (preferably A4 or letter size) so colouring materials show well.

2. Introduce the verse: Read Matthew 28:6 aloud: “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” Encourage children to repeat it with you.

3. Discuss the scene: Talk about the empty tomb, what it means that Jesus rose again, and why this is Easter’s big message.

4. Colouring time: Let children choose their colours and fill in the page. Encourage creativity — perhaps gold or bright colours for rays of light, pastel for clouds, etc.

5. Memory reinforcement: After colouring, you might ask: “What does this verse remind us?” or “Why is the tomb empty?”

6. Display & share: Once complete, children can show their work on a classroom wall, fridge or in a church bulletin board. This gives visible affirmation of their learning.

7. Optional extension: For older kids or groups, you might ask them to write a short sentence about what ‘He has risen’ means to them, or draw an additional element (like a cross, sunrise, etc).

This colouring worksheet is a simple yet powerful tool to help children engage with the resurrection story of Jesus. It offers a fun creative time and a meaningful spiritual lesson. Encourage youngsters to print, colour, reflect—and share their work proudly!
