Getting ready

Age & adult help

The original catalogue requires an educator to review the story’s wording and illustrations before assigning a child age range.

Review the actual printable and passage before choosing it for your group.

What you’ll need

Printer, paper, colouring pencils or crayons. An adult reader may be helpful for younger children.

Time & preparation

One comic page, including colouring. Shared reading and discussion are additional.
Construction profile: 6–12 years. Story content prevents a confirmed child age recommendation without viewing the asset. 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 tips

The story behind the craft

Bible passage: Joshua 7

After Jericho, Achan secretly keeps items that were forbidden to take. Israel suffers defeat, and the hidden wrongdoing is exposed with severe consequences for Achan and his household.

Main takeaway: The account presents wrongdoing as something that affects a whole community.

While you colour the panels

Read the panels in order, pausing at a change in a character’s action or understanding.

An adult should assess this severe judgment account before teaching it. Discuss honesty and responsibility without reenacting punishment or comparing ordinary childhood mistakes to this outcome.

Younger learners can describe an action in one panel. Older learners can compare a caption with its Bible passage and discuss what a short comic leaves out.

Questions to explore

  • What did Achan hide?
  • How did the consequences extend beyond one person?
  • Why should a community address wrongdoing fairly rather than ignore it?

Common questions

What files are included in this download?

The download is a 1-page PDF: AchansSinandPunishment_Josh7.pdf. This is the English edition. You print the files yourself; physical supplies are not included.

Is this a comic to read or a colouring sheet?

It combines both on one page: outlined comic panels with story captions. Read the panels in sequence, then colour and talk about the illustrated moments. It is a flat printable, with no paper mechanism to assemble. Printed captions include “Israel is defeated at Ai, and Joshua asks God for help” and “Achan disobeys God by taking what is forbidden”.

Which pages should I print, and at what size?

The original PDF pages are A4 portrait. AchansSinandPunishment_Josh7.pdf: print the page 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.

What supplies and preparation does this need?

Printer paper and colouring pencils or crayons. An adult can read the captions and help children follow the order of the panels.

What help might children need with this activity?

An educator should review the actual wording and illustrations before choosing this account for children. After Jericho, Achan secretly keeps items that were forbidden to take. Israel suffers defeat, and the hidden wrongdoing is exposed with severe consequences for Achan and his household. Read the panels or captions yourself first and decide how to explain the difficult parts for your group.
