Esther 3 · Grade 2

Haman's Bad Plan

Name Date

Read the Story

The king made Haman a big man. He was over all the princes. The king said all must bow to Haman. So they did.

But Mordecai did not bow. Haman saw this. He was full of anger. He found out Mordecai was a Jew.

Haman made a bad plan. He wanted to hurt all the Jews. He got the king to say yes. Letters went out to all the lands. But Christians believe God still cared for His people.

Memory Verse

“When Haman saw that Mordecai didn’t bow down nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.”

Esther 3:5 (WEB)
