Proverbs Coloring Pages

Read a verse in the King James wording and find its chapter-and-verse reference beneath it

Learn a short verse from a sheet given over to that verse alone

Connect a verse to one of the recurring themes the set groups - wisdom, speech, pride, friendship or self-control

Every sheet is self-contained with its reference printed on it, so pages can be pulled in any order to match a theme rather than worked through from the front

Chapters 3, 15, 16, 17, 22, 27 and 28 each supply two verses, which makes those pairs a natural way to introduce a chapter through two contrasting lines

The wording is King James throughout - turneth, goeth, keepeth, thy, thine - so younger children will need the verse read to them even where they can colour it independently

A completed sheet carries a full verse and its reference, which suits a display board or a take-home page as much as a colouring task

Several verses are short enough to memorise in one sitting - Proverbs 6:6, 15:1 and 17:17 among them - while others such as 4:14-15 run to two verses of text

The set is explicitly scriptural, so check it against your setting's policy on religious material before printing a class set

Colouring and fine motor work - the set is designed as colouring sheets, one verse laid out per page.

Reading early modern English - the verses keep King James forms throughout, from "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine" to "Pride goeth before destruction".

Locating a scripture reference - each page prints its chapter and verse beneath the text, from Proverbs 1:8 to Proverbs 30:5.

Memorising a short passage - a whole page given to a single verse supports learning it by heart.
