Make copies of the Philip Spot the Difference Color Page—one per child, plus extras.
Make one copy of the Philip Spot the Difference Color Page Answers.

Can You See It? Compare the two pictures to identify what is different.

Give an activity page and a pencil to each child. Tell the children to compare the two pictures and circle the differences in one or both of the pictures. Lead a discussion with the questions below as the children complete the activity.

1. Imagine that you are Philip. What do you think your reaction would be if the Spirit told you to walk or run alongside the carriage? Children respond.

2. What miracle happened after Philip baptized the Ethiopian? The Spirit took Philip to another location; he vanished.

3. Was the Ethiopian man sad that Philip disappeared? No, he went on his way rejoicing.

4. Name a miracle that Philip performed by God’s power in Samaria. He cast out evil spirits; he healed lame and paralyzed people.

5. Imagine that you have been unable to walk your entire life and you were just healed by God’s power. What do you think would be the first thing you would do after taking your first steps? Jump up and down; cry or shout for joy; praise and thank God; run to tell your family, friends, and everyone about the miracle.

Have children share the differences they spotted when they complete their activity pages. Option: provide crayons, colored pencils, or washable markers to share and have children color their pictures. Or, suggest that children color their pictures at home.
