Women of the Bible word search to print

Sunday school tends to tell far more stories about male characters, and the side effect is that girls grow up without a Bible figure who looks like them. This sheet exists to correct that simply: twelve names, twelve stories that exist and are rarely told.

Deborah was a judge and led an army; Esther confronted a king; Ruth chose to stay when she could have left. If there is time after the activity, pick one of the three and tell the whole story.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work for Mother’s Day?

It does, and that is one of its most common uses. Hannah and Mary are the natural hooks for that date.

Where do I find these stories?

Esther has her own book, as does Ruth. Deborah is in Judges 4 and 5, and Hannah in the first chapter of 1 Samuel.
