5 W Questions for the Story of “The Wise Men Following the Star” from Matthew 2

By Kathy Vincent

I think my favorite figurines in our manger scene we put up at Christmas time are the 3 wise men. Even as a little girl, they were the ones I would play with and enjoy pretending that they were bringing gifts to the baby Jesus. The story of the wise men following the majestic star in the sky is one that your kids will enjoy as well.

Here are seventeen 5 “W” questions who, what, when, where, why and how – with their answers for the story of “The Wise Men Following the Star” found in Matthew 2:1-11. These questions can be used with both young children and elementary children. Just be ready to tweak them a little bit for the appropriate age. You can also read a verse first, and then ask the question or you can read the whole passage of Scripture and then ask the questions. Your younger children might enjoy having some kind of puppet ask the questions. Have fun! (more…)
