These free Widow's Offering mazes come in three levels, so every child in your class gets a maze they can finish. Help the poor widow find the way to the treasury with her two mites!

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 Mark 12:43.

Talk about it: Jesus sat over against the treasury and beheld how the people cast money into it (Mark 12:41). A poor widow "threw in two mites, which make a farthing" (Mark 12:42). Jesus said she "did cast in all that she had, even all her living" (Mark 12:44).

Use them after the The Widow's Offering Sunday school lesson, with the crossword and word search.

The Bible story

Jesus sat over against the treasury and beheld how the people cast money into it, and many that were rich cast in much. Then a certain poor widow threw in two mites, which make a farthing. Jesus called His disciples and said, "this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury," for they gave "of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living." Read the whole story in Mark 12:41–44 (KJV).

Memory verse: "And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:" (Mark 12:43, 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.
