Getting ready
Age & adult help
Straight trimming is simple; understanding and discussing the printed verses is the larger demand.
Prepare the bookmarks if needed and read or discuss each verse together.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, colouring pencils or crayons for colour-in designs, scissors. A laminator is optional.
Time & preparation
One standard four-bookmark set, including colouring and cutting. Verse practice is additional.
Age is an editorial estimate for the motor and reading demands of this format. Difficulty, completion time and suggested tools are planning estimates, not build-tested.
Check the file before you print for a group, and allow for any extra help the kids might need.
Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: Genesis 12:1–9; 15:1–6; 21:1–7
Suggested verses to explore: Genesis 12:1
God calls Abram to leave home and promises to bless him and his family. The promise unfolds over many years, including the birth of Isaac after a long wait.
Main takeaway: God’s promise gives Abraham a reason to trust through a long journey.
While you colour
Read one featured verse aloud and ask learners to connect its meaning with the bookmark picture.
Separate leaving home, the promise under the stars and Isaac’s birth. Talk about waiting without suggesting every wish is a promise from God.
Younger learners can name visible details while an adult reads. Older learners can look up the verse and read the sentences around it before explaining its meaning.
Questions to explore
- What did Abram leave behind?
- What did the stars help him picture?
- How is a promise different from something we simply hope for?
Common questions
What files are included in this download?
The download is a 2-page PDF: AbrahamsPromise.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.
Are the picture fronts and verse backs separate?
Yes. The two-page PDF has four picture fronts and four matching verse backs. Colour the fronts, match each picture to its verse and cut the pieces apart. You can glue matching fronts and backs together to make four double-sided bookmarks. For a Bible reading to accompany this activity, use Genesis 12:1–9; 15:1–6; 21:1–7. The designs are listed as: Genesis 12:1: God’s Call; Genesis 15:5: Stars of Promise; Genesis 18:11: God’s Faithfulness; Genesis 21:3: The Birth of Isaac.
Which pages should I print, and at what size?
The original PDF pages are A4 landscape. AbrahamsPromise.pdf: print the pages you want to use for each learner or group. Print single-sided. On US Letter paper, select Letter and Fit or shrink to the printable area; the originals are not separate Letter-sized files. Keep matching construction pages at the same scale. Print both pages for the four front-and-back designs. If you choose duplex printing instead of gluing, test your printer’s alignment on scrap paper first.
What supplies and preparation does this need?
Paper or printer-compatible light card, colouring pencils, scissors and glue if you join the fronts and backs. Lamination is optional.
What help might children need with this activity?
Suggested ages: 6–12 years. Prepare the bookmarks if needed and read or discuss each verse together. Adjust this guide for the child’s reading and making skills.
