Elijah and Elisha Maze for Kids (Easy, Medium and Hard)

These free Elijah and Elisha mazes come in three levels, so every child in your class gets a maze they can finish. Help Elijah and Elisha find the way from Gilgal to the Jordan!

• 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 2 Kings 2:11.

Talk about it: Elisha told Elijah, "I will not leave thee" (2 Kings 2:2). At the Jordan, Elijah smote the waters with his mantle, and they two went over on dry ground (2 Kings 2:8). Then Elijah "went up by a whirlwind into heaven" (2 Kings 2:11).

Use them after the Elijah and Elisha Sunday school lesson, with the crossword and word search.

The Bible story

When the LORD would take Elijah up into heaven by a whirlwind, Elisha would not leave him: "As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." Elijah smote the waters of Jordan with his mantle and they two went over on dry ground, and Elisha asked, "let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me." Then "there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire," and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. Elisha took up the mantle of Elijah and smote the waters, and they parted, and the sons of the prophets said, "The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha." Read the whole story in 2 Kings 2:1–15 (KJV).

Memory verse: "And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven." (2 Kings 2:11, 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.
