Leader Guide
Maze Activity
- Philip Desert Road Maze
- Whiteboard and marker or chalkboard and chalk
- Pencils—one per child
- Bibles or the Superbook Bible App
Make copies of the Philip Desert Road Maze—one per child, plus extras.
Write the SuperVerse on the board—Ephesians 3:7:
Led by the Spirit: Lead Philip to the carriage and then to the water.
Let’s read the SuperVerse, Ephesians 3:7, together from the board:
Who did Philip share the Gospel with in the desert? The Ethiopian man.
Give each child a copy of the maze and a pencil. Your mission is to guide Philip to the Ethiopian man’s carriage. Once you have done that, you will then lead the men to the water for the baptism.
Tell the children they may begin. Lead a discussion using the questions below as the children complete the activity.
1. Why did Philip go to the desert? An angel of the Lord told him to go.
2. What can we learn from Philip’s obedience to immediately go? Timing is important. The man was ready to receive Jesus. We must trust and obey without delay.
3. What do you think the Ethiopian man thought when he saw Philip walking outside his carriage? Children respond.
4. Think about what God did for that one Ethiopian man to hear the Good News. What does that tell you about God? He loves everyone and wants everyone to be saved.
