Teach children an important lesson about pride through the story of King Herod in Acts 12:20–25. This printable Bible lesson combines visual storytelling, hands-on demonstrations, and age-appropriate activity sheets to help children understand what led to Herod’s downfall and why we should give God the glory instead of seeking praise for ourselves.
Use the interactive story map to help children follow the events involving Tyre, Sidon, Caesarea, and King Herod. Teachers can draw the simple figures as they tell the story or use the included version with the stick figures already illustrated.
The lesson also includes Tom Turkey Learns About Pride, a lighthearted illustrated story that gives children an easy-to-understand comparison to King Herod’s pride. Four printable color illustrations are included, along with a coloring sheet for younger children and a thought-bubble activity for older children.
Additional activities help reinforce the lesson in memorable ways. Students can complete a King Herod speech-bubble activity sheet, color the matching Bible story picture, compare pride and humility with a block demonstration, and use dominoes to review Proverbs 16:18 in the “Pride Goes Before a Fall” Bible Verse Activity.
