The Bible story

At Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha, called Dorcas, who was "full of good works and almsdeeds which she did." She was sick, and died, and the disciples sent two men to Lydda for Peter. All the widows stood by him weeping, "shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made." Peter put them all forth, kneeled down, and prayed, and said, "Tabitha, arise"; she opened her eyes and sat up, and "many believed in the Lord." Read the whole story in Acts 9:36–43 (KJV).

Memory verse: "Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did." (Acts 9:36, 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.
