Fruit of the Spirit Activity Pages
One thing I love about these Fruit of the Spirit activity pages is that they are a simple tool for sparking meaningful conversation. For example, as your child colors the coloring page and works on the activities, use the opportunity to ask them open-ended questions. Below are a few questions about the Fruit of the Spirit. I pray these questions lead to purposeful conversation that helps to shape your child’s heart to look more like the Father’s:
What do you think it means to have the Fruit of the Spirit?
Can you name all the Fruit of the Spirit?
Which Fruit of the Spirit do you think is the hardest to show? Why?
Can you think of a time when you showed kindness to someone?
How can we show love to others, even when it’s hard?
Have you ever been patient when waiting for something? What helped you be patient?
What does it mean to have joy? Can you think of something that brings you joy?
When have you felt peace in your heart, even in a difficult situation?
How can we show goodness to others?
Can you share a time when you were gentle with someone or something?
What does it mean to be faithful? How can we show faithfulness to our friends and family?
How can we practice self-control, especially when we really want to do or have something?

Like many Bible topics, the Fruit of the Spirit can be difficult to explain to children. It can be a daunting task to teach our children about God’s Truth. After all, it is one of the highest callings in the world! One of the most intimidating things about teaching kids Biblical concepts is the possibility of them asking us difficult questions. I don’t know about you, but my kids can come up with some interesting questions!
However, I want to encourage you to not allow fear to deter you from teaching your children about the Bible. Be honest with your kids when you don’t have answers to their questions. When my kids stump me with a question my response is “I’m not sure about that. Let’s study our Bible together and see what God says about that.” I believe that it is important to show my kids that I don’t have all of the answers, but I know where to find them. In addition, I teach my children that God doesn’t intend for us to know everything this side of the Kingdom. We should seek His Truth and have a desire to learn more about Him. However, some things will remain a mystery until we see Him face to face.
Ideas for Explaining the Fruit of the Spirit to Kids
Here are some ideas to help you and your child dive deeper into the Fruit of the Spirit. Explain that the Fruit of the Spirit is a special gift from God. The “Fruit” is a good thing that God wants to grow in our hearts, like fruit that grows on a tree or bush. Talk about each Fruit individually, using simple language and relatable examples. For example:
Love: Explain that love is about caring for others and being kind and helpful to them.
Joy: Describe joy as feeling happy inside, even when things are tough.
Peace: Peace means feeling calm and safe, like when everything feels okay.
Patience: Patience is waiting calmly without getting upset, like waiting for your turn in a game.
Kindness: Kindness is being friendly and nice to everyone, even if they’re different from you.
Goodness: Goodness is doing what’s right and helping others, like sharing your toys.
Faithfulness: Faithfulness means keeping your promises and being loyal to your friends.
Gentleness: Gentleness is being soft and careful with others, like softly petting a puppy.
Self-Control: Self-control is being able to stop yourself from doing something even when you really want to.
More Ideas for Teaching Kids the Fruit of the Spirit
Use Examples: Give examples from your child’s everyday life to illustrate each fruit. You can use stories and experiences. In addition, ask your child for examples from their own life.
Relate to Them: Help your child understand that these fruits are things they can learn and practice every day, with God’s help. Encourage your child to think about how he or she can show these fruits in interactions with family, friends, and others.
Emphasize God’s Help: Remind your child that growing these Fruits is something that can’t be done on his or her own. But with God’s help and by following the Messiah’s example, his or her Fruit will grow.
