Teach kids about Jesus’ disciples with this FREE biography lapbook. Grab three free lapbooks for the Who What Why | Resurrection series!
If your children have grown up in Sunday School, they can probably tell you that Jesus’ disciples were his best friends and followers, chosen to become his apostles after his death and resurrection. But, can your kids name the disciples? Do they know the personality of each disciple? Can they tell you how each disciple interacted with Jesus? Do your kids know the impact each disciple had on missions and on Scripture?
Jesus’ Disciples for Kids
In my book Who Were the Disciples? from Christian Focus Publications, your 7-12 year olds can learn about the life of each disciple as they read short, fun biographies on the followers of Jesus. Your children will also get to see the life of Jesus through the lens of his closest followers. It’s part of the Who What Why series for middle grade kids, ages 7-12.
You can continue the learning with this fun lapbook on the disciples. Your kids will study the lives of the disciples, important moments in Jesus’ life, and the role each disciple played in spreading the good news of Jesus across the world.

How to Print and Use Your Free Lapbook about the Disciples
To create the base of your lapbook, place your file folder on a table and fold both sides inward toward the creased spine of the folder. Once the outer edges meet, crease your file folder. This will give you a book that opens in the middle. You will still have a fold in the middle of your book, so I like to glue a piece of cardstock into the middle section of the book to create a thick center that won’t bend.
You can watch a quick tutorial for your free lapbook above.

Christian History Matters for Our Kids.
History matters. Now, more than ever, we see how important it is for our children to know and understand history and the Bible.
Here’s why:
- God is the sovereign ruler of all things. It’s important for our kids to see his hand in the history of nations and in the lives of both peasants and kings.
- Christian history is the story of our family history. Our kids get to see how people who love Jesus follow him.
- Understanding history can help our kids learn historic and biblical theology. They learn what the Bible says and what that means for us. They also see when the study of Scripture has taken important turns that have changed the Church.
- Reading Christian biographies and history can be a wonderful way for kids to think outside their own time and culture. God’s Church spans centuries and includes people from every nation.
- Christian biographies help kids consider their own faith, walk with Jesus, and the impact their witness may one day have on others–and on history.
