Rhoda and Peter in Prison Maze for Kids (Easy, Medium and Hard)

These free Rhoda and Peter in Prison mazes come in three levels, so every child in your class gets a maze they can finish. Help Peter find the way from the prison to the house where the church was praying!

• 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 Acts 12:5.

Talk about it: Peter was kept in prison, "but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him" (Acts 12:5). The angel of the Lord led him out, and the iron gate opened "of his own accord" (Acts 12:10). Peter came to the house of Mary, "where many were gathered together praying" (Acts 12:12).

Use them after the Rhoda and Peter in Prison Sunday school lesson, with the crossword and word search.

The Bible story

Herod the king put Peter in prison, "but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him." That night the angel of the Lord came, a light shined in the prison, Peter's chains fell off from his hands, and the iron gate opened "of his own accord." Peter came to the house of Mary the mother of John Mark, where many were gathered together praying, and knocked at the door of the gate. A damsel named Rhoda knew Peter's voice and for gladness ran in without opening the gate; they said, "Thou art mad," but when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. Read the whole story in Acts 12:1–17 (KJV).

Memory verse: "Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him." (Acts 12:5, 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.
