Engage your KS1 or Lower KS2 students with this creative and differentiated Parable of the Lost Sheep sequencing activity.

Perfect for Religious Education (RE) lessons, assemblies, or Sunday School, this resource helps children explore the themes of care, persistence, and being “found” through the story of the Shepherd from Luke 15.

This download includes two versions of the activity to allow for easy differentiation in the classroom:

What’s Included?
Version 1 (Ordering Only): Students cut out six pre-matched image and sentence blocks and stick them in the correct chronological order. This is ideal for younger learners or those needing more support with literacy.

Version 2 (Match & Order): A more challenging task where students must first match the line drawings to the correct summary sentences before ordering the entire story sequence.

Key Learning Benefits:
RE Focus: Understands the core message of the Parable of the Lost Sheep.

Literacy: Practices reading comprehension and summarizing key story events.

Fine Motor Skills: Provides an engaging “cut and stick” task that encourages focus and neatness.

Cross-Curricular: Great for both RE and English/Literacy (Instructional writing and narrative sequencing).

Resource Details:
6 High-Quality Line Drawings: Simple, clean illustrations that children can color in once they have finished the sequencing task.

Clear Summary Sentences: Summarized in accessible, kid-friendly language.

Printer Friendly: Black and white design to save on ink while allowing for a creative coloring element.
