My third graders were particularly engaged when we discussed how Joseph showed great bravery in caring for Jesus' body. This coloring page features six images, including Joseph, the cross, and the tomb, allowing kids to visualize the story as they color. Last Friday, I had my students use colored pencils to fill in these pages. They loved bringing the scene to life, and I noticed how it sparked deeper conversations about Jesus' sacrifice.
