Parable of the Talents Maze for Kids (Easy, Medium and Hard)

These free Parable of the Talents mazes come in three levels, so every child in your class gets a maze they can finish. Help the faithful servant bring his talents to his lord!

• 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 Matthew 25:21.

Talk about it: The servant with five talents traded with them and made other five talents (Matthew 25:16). His lord said, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21). He had been "faithful over a few things" (Matthew 25:21).

Use them after the The Parable of the Talents Sunday school lesson, with the crossword and word search.

The Bible story

Jesus told about a man travelling into a far country who delivered his goods to his servants: five talents to one, two to another, and one to another, "to every man according to his several ability." The servant with five talents traded and made them other five talents, and likewise he with two gained other two, and their lord said, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." The servant with one talent was afraid and hid his lord's money in the earth, and the talent was taken from him and given unto him which had ten talents. Read the whole story in Matthew 25:14–30 (KJV).

Memory verse: "His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." (Matthew 25:21, 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.
