Deborah and Barak Maze for Kids (Easy, Medium and Hard)

These free Deborah and Barak mazes come in three levels, so every child in your class gets a maze they can finish. Help Barak and Deborah find the way from Kedesh to mount Tabor!

• Easy (ages 4–6): one path with no wrong turns.
• Medium (grades K–2): two or three side paths that lead to dead ends.
• Hard (grades 3–5): many wrong turns, with side paths branching off other side paths.

Each level downloads on its own, with or without an answer key, and every maze has the King James verse Judges 4:14.

Talk about it: Barak said, "If thou wilt go with me, then I will go" (Judges 4:8). Deborah said, "I will surely go with thee" (Judges 4:9), and she went up with Barak and ten thousand men (Judges 4:10). Then she said, "is not the LORD gone out before thee?" (Judges 4:14).

Use them after the Deborah and Barak Bible story page, with the crossword and word search.

The Bible story

Jabin king of Canaan had nine hundred chariots of iron, and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD. Deborah, a prophetess who judged Israel under the palm tree of Deborah, called Barak to take ten thousand men to mount Tabor, and when Barak would not go unless she went, she said, "I will surely go with thee." Deborah said, "Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand," and the LORD discomfited Sisera and all his chariots. Sisera fled away on his feet and died in the tent of Jael, so God subdued Jabin before the children of Israel. Read the whole story in Judges 4:1–24 (KJV).

Memory verse: "And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him." (Judges 4:14, KJV). It is printed on every level.

Using the mazes in class

• Give each child the level they can finish: the easy maze for ages 4–6, medium for kindergarten to 2nd grade, hard for 3rd to 5th grade.
• Tell the story first, then let kids trace the path with a finger before they use a pencil or crayon.
• Say the memory verse together when they reach the end, then read the "Talk about it" box on the sheet.

Answer keys

Each level downloads two ways: the puzzle on its own, or with a second page that shows the answer (the path drawn in red). Print the key for helpers, or let kids check their own work.
