Paul and Silas in Prison Worksheet (Easy, Medium and Hard)

This Paul and Silas in Prison worksheet comes in three free printable levels, so every class can use it. Easy (ages 4–6): kids circle the right word, circle the number and trace part of the memory verse. Medium (grades K–2): kids fill in eight story facts from a word box. Hard (grades 3–5): kids look up eight answers in Acts 16 and write the memory verse from memory. Each level downloads by itself or with an answer key page.

How to use it

Teach the story first, then hand out the worksheet as review. Pick the level that fits your kids, or print two levels for a class with mixed ages. For pre-readers, read each sentence and both choices out loud and let them circle.

What's on each level

• Easy, ages 4–6: five sentences with two choices to circle (prison, midnight, sang, the earthquake, the doors opened), two "circle the number" questions (Paul and Silas; "we are all here") and "sang praises unto God" to trace and copy.
• Medium, grades K–2: a word box and eight fill-in-the-blank facts (Silas, the jailer, the stocks, the earthquake, the doors, "we are all here", "what must I do to be saved?", baptized), plus Acts 16:25 with four missing words.
• Hard, grades 3–5: no word box. Kids read the verse given for each of eight questions and write the answer, write Acts 16:25 with only the first letters given, and answer one "think about it" question.
• Answer keys: every level has one, with a Bible reference for each answer.

Tips

• For the hard level, give each child or pair a King James Bible open to Acts 16.
• Early finishers can try the Paul and Silas in Prison word search, crossword or maze.
