Philip and the Ethiopian — 1st-3rd Grade (Ages 6-9)

Free grades 1–3 Sunday school lesson on Philip and the Ethiopian official in Acts 8:26–40. This eight-page volunteer edition provides passage-specific background, a 45-minute plan, two printed activities, teacher answers, and family follow-up.

The memory verse is the actual KJV text of Acts 8:35: “Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.” Read the full passage in your preferred translation. The lesson respects the Ethiopian official’s agency and thoughtful questions, explains how Philip used Isaiah to proclaim Jesus, and discusses baptism without making the lesson depend on the textual variant in Acts 8:37.
