Maze Activity

  • Peter's Escape Maze
  • Pencils—one per child plus extras

Make copies of Peter’s Escape Maze, one per child plus extras.

Give each child a copy of Peter’s Escape Maze and a pencil. Have children write their names at the bottom. Lead a discussion using the questions and answers below as the children complete the activity. 

  • Was Peter worrying and pacing around in his cell when the angel appeared? No, he was sleeping.    
  • When the angel told Peter to get up, what happened to his chains? They fell from his wrists. 
  • How did the gate to the prison open? It opened by itself. God opened it.  
  • What did the angel tell him to do? To get dressed and follow him.
  • When Peter first began to follow the angel, what did he think? He thought he was having a vision. 
  • Did the angel lead him all the way to Mary’s house? No, the angel left him when they started walking down the street. 
  • Did Peter stay long at Mary’s house? No, he told them how God’s angel rescued him and then went to another place.

Conclusion: God heard the prayers of His people. An angel rescued Peter when there was no other way to escape. Save your maze to remind you of our SuperTruth. Who can say it from memory? “Prayer produces results!”
