Fruit of the Spirit Placemats for Kids — 9 Printable Bible Activity Mats (Galatians 5:22–23, 12 Pages)

Nine weeks around the table with the fruit of the Spirit. One placemat a week for the dinner table or church snack time: the whole of Galatians 5:22–23, a fruit to color, a puzzle, something to look for that week and a question to talk about together.

WHAT YOU GET (12 pages, US Letter and A4)

• Nine landscape placemats, one for each word in Galatians 5:22–23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self-control
• On every mat: the whole verse with that week's word underlined, a big fruit to color, a one-line prayer, a "Look for it this week" prompt and a dinner-table question
• Nine puzzles: three mazes (one of them round), three word finds and three dot-to-dots (a sailboat, the wise builder's house on the rock, and a kite)
• A "Fruit we're noticing" page to write down each week where you saw the fruit growing and what you said to God about it
• A cover page, and a one-page guide for parents and leaders with answer keys for the word finds and the mazes

ONE FRUIT, NOT A BEHAVIOR CHART. Paul writes "the fruit of the Spirit": one fruit with nine qualities, grown by the Holy Spirit, not earned by trying harder. So there are no points, stars or rewards here. You notice the fruit, thank God for it and ask Him to grow more. Week 7 says "Faith" because that is the word the World English Bible uses; the guide explains why.

FOR HOME OR A CLASS. Print one-sided on plain paper; there is nothing to cut. White backgrounds and simple line art keep it light on ink. Card stock lasts longer, and a clear sheet protector makes a wipe-clean mat for dry-erase markers. One purchase covers one home, or one class or group.
