I love teaching the golden rule in my classes at school. This golden rule worksheet is a fun and creative way to teach children to treat others the way they want to be treated, and to encourage empathy and kindness. You can use this golden rule worksheet at church, in Sunday School, in the classroom, or at home. I use this regularly with my grade 1s and they love the activity page with the coloring activity, the wordsearch, the maze, and the reflection question. For younger kids, I encourage them to draw their answer to the reflection question, instead of writing it. For slightly older kids and kids with good literacy skills, you can include the worksheet with the word scramble.
