As a supplement to the Reformation Day notebooking pages, I created another set of pages featuring five great men of church history:
- Martin Luther
- John Knox
- William Tyndale
- John Calvin
- John Wycliffe
The John Knox thumbnail below is an example of what the pages look like.
Pages are in three different line styles: primary, wide-ruled, and college-ruled. An additional blank page gives room for adding more facts about any reformer or the movement in general.
As always, I love to hear when you use the free printables from The Notebooking Fairy in your homeschool. If you send me photos, I will feature you in a Show Off post.

LOVE IT! Just in time to Celebrate Reformation Day!!!!
Hello everyone,
Please round out your children’s education by including a Radical Reformer in your lessons. Luther and Calvin are important, as is Zwingli, but Knox is in the same vein as Calvin, whereas the Anabaptists went further in their reforming work than the other Reformers were willing to go, in terms of matching their lifestyles to the Bible as closely as possible, and were consequently persecuted not only by the Catholics but also by the Lutherans, Calvinists, and Zwinglians.
This is an important area of the Protestant Reformation and kids need to learn from mistakes of our Protestant past, just as American children need to know about the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. The Anabaptists have a lot of amazing, moving stories of courageous witness, martyrdom, and holistic Christian lifestyle (some of the famous figures include Conrad Grebel, Michael Sattler, Balthasar Hubmaier, Jacob Hutter, Menno Simons, Hans Denck, Hans Hut, Melchior Hoffman, Peter Walpot, and Pilgram Marpeck). These groups are the origin of the Amish, Hutterites, and Mennonites who all survive to this day.
Unfortunately, I never learned about any of their inspiring testimonies as a homeschooled child. Education is very incomplete without featuring at least one Radical Reformer in the subject of Reformation history.
Thank you!
