Ive always been intrigued by the story of John the Baptist, especially the part where Zechariah was not able to speak. Elizabeth must have had 9 months of lovely peace! (Sorry, gentlemen.) Your kids will enjoy this story as well. Be sure to point out to your children that it was extremely uncommon in Bible days for the first son not to named after his father. Elizabeth was being obedient to Gods wishes to name her son John. Also be sure that you point out that Zechariah gave God praise when he could talk again. He didnt complain that God had shut his mouth. He was incredibly grateful for Gods wonderful blessing of a first-born child.

Here are fourteen 5 W questions who, what, when, where, why and how - with their answers for the story of The Birth of John the Baptist found in Luke 1: 57-80. These questions can be used with both young children and elementary children. Just be ready to tweak them a little bit for the appropriate age. You can also read a verse first, and then ask the question or you can read the whole passage of Scripture and then ask the questions. Your younger children might enjoy having some kind of puppet ask the questions. Have fun!
