Leader Guide

Coloring Activity


Give a coloring page to each child, along with crayons, colored pencils, or washable markers to share. Lead a discussion using the questions below as children color their pages.

A Misunderstanding: Color a scene from the Superbook video.


1. Why does Joy appear frustrated in this scene from the video? She is tired of studying for a test at school. 

2. Joy suddenly remembered a scripture that Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount and believed she could apply it to her situation; do you remember what it was? Matthew 6:34; don’t worry about tomorrow.

3. How did she misunderstand Jesus’ teaching? She thought it meant that she didn’t have to study for the test; she didn’t have to worry about being prepared.

4. What was the result of her misunderstanding of Jesus’ teaching? Her grade was a “C” instead of an “A.”

5. How do you think Joy could have correctly applied Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:34? Children respond. 

Joy could have studied all she was able to and given her best effort, then asked God to bless her efforts and trust Him to help her instead of worrying.

Conclusion: It is important to understand Jesus’ words, so we don’t make similar mistakes like Joy, Chris, and Gizmo did. God gave us the Holy Spirit to be our teacher and guide. When we pray and ask for His help, He will open our eyes and hearts to lead us into all truth, and to guide our words and actions.
