These free Way, the Truth, and the Life crossword puzzles come in three levels, so every reader in your class can finish one. Every answer comes from the King James Bible (John 14:1–6), and each level downloads with or without an answer key.

  • Easy (ages 5–7): short answers, simple clues and a word box to pick from.
  • Medium (grades K–2): more words and no word box.
  • Hard (grades 3–5): kids look up each verse in their Bible to find the answer.

Use them after the The Way, the Truth, and the Life Bible story page, with the maze and word search.

The Bible story

Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me." He said that in His Father's house are many mansions, that He goes to prepare a place, and that He will come again. Thomas said, "Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?" Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Read the whole story in John 14:1–6 (KJV).

Memory verse: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6, KJV). It is printed on every level.
