The TALENTS

A Parable Taught by Christ in Matthew 25:14

25:14-
14-30

ACTIVITY:
PANTOMIME – Each Person takes a turn to pick a talent out of the bag and then
acts it out while the others guess. (This activity helps to brainstorm about all the
different types of talents there are)

STORY:
MATTHEW 25:14-30 Tell the parable of the Talents using the pictures of the 4 men
and the talents. (cut out and color the pictures first)
• Like the men with 2 & 5 talents Heavenly Father wants us to use our talents
and not hide them

APPLY IT:
What Talents do each of us have?
Talk about how to Magnify those talents
(Show a magnifying glass)

1. Heavenly Father wants us to

use our talents to bless others
2. Everyone write one of your
talents in a magnifying glass,
talk about how you can
magnify your talent, and not
hide it!
Color the
Bushes
and dirt
where
the
slothful
servant
hid his
talent!
The Talents - cut out the squares to use when telling the story
ACTIVITY:
Cut these out and place them in a bowl/bag – Take turns picking one out and acting it out!
